Wafting vanilla and liquorish aromas overlay ripe mulberry and black plum. Hints of spice from the Shiraz are in harmony with the ripe berry fruit of the Cabernet. This blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon and 43% Shiraz from the Tulbagh and Swartland appellations of South Africa, reminds me of evenings spent grilling around the open fire on South Africa’s west coast. This wine's soft acids and balanced tannins produce a warm feeling on your palate – “a quaffer” and an ostrich steak’s best friend.
