Rust en Vrede, Single Vineyard, Cabernet Sauvignon 2018
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Cabernet Sauvignon
Description
Deep, opaque ruby with a prominent bouquet of cedar, pencil shavings and dark chocolate rounded out with cassis and black cherry. A full-bodied, classic Cabernet in a Bordeaux style, this wine shows fine-grained tannins and velvety acidity. Blackberries and mulberries complement savoury spice – coriander seed and juniper. Structured and powerful, this is a Cabernet that will continue developing complexity as it ages.
