"A 100% aromatic Cabernet Sauvignon, to drink now or keep for years!"
"The 2020 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon has beautiful oak aromas with hints of fresh red fruit. It is spicy with notes of cranberry skin and pencil shavings. The full-bodied palate offers a firm, rocky minerality that will need another year in the bottle to blossom, but it has good structure and is built to last. A great success! 2024-2040" (Robert Parker 2023)

About wine:
A concentrated, full-bodied Cabernet with aromas of blackcurrant, blueberry, dark chocolate, cedar, and sliced chili pepper. Delicious savory notes are also present. It is well-structured, with firm, tight tannins and a polished core of black fruit. Long finish. Drink now or hold.
