2020 Cape Winemakers Guild Auction Cabernet Sauvignon, Le Riche
Cellar Circle Exclusive
The superstar Christo Le Riche does it again with this, a selection of their longest standing single vineyard in their range. This is totally and utterly stylish. Serious Cabernet with graphite and gravel at its core. Tannins run from front to back with focus and relentless energy. There is a hint of some blue fruit on the mid palate, but this is otherwise quite a brooding cassis driven, coiled style of Cabernet with very subtle cedar and sandalwood notes.
