Tasting Notes
(60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc; aged for 22 months in 80% new French barrels): Bright red-ruby. Very sexy Old World nose melds raspberry, currant, coffee, mocha, coriander, smoky tobacco and a hint of fynbos. Plush, silky and fine-grained, showing a hint of herbal coolness to the flavors of redcurrant and tobacco. Conveys captivating mineral energy in a very French way. At only 13% alcohol, this is not in 'the big and bold style,' notes winemaker Lester. Utterly seamless wine with ripe, fine-grained tannins and excellent length. This should age gracefully for at least 12 to 15 years. There are typically between 80,000 and 100,000 bottles of this wine but Lester noted that production will be down in 2014 owing to the challenging growing season. She uses only the best grapes from the Stellenbosch area but included a small percentage of fruit from the West Coast in this 2011. As of 2015, this flagship bottling will come entirely from Stellenbosch. Drink: 2
