"A 100% Cabernet Sauvignon with a rich bouquet—perfect for drinking now or aging for years to come!"
“The 2020 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon displays magnificent 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 fully develop, but it has good structure and is built to last. A fine success! 2024–2040” (Robert Parker 2023)

About the 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-lasting. Ready to drink now or worth cellaring.
