Tasting notes

A pan-Stellenbosch blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cinsaut, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, this is part of a new project between Wendy Applebaum and Carl van der Merwe. It’s a very aromatic, elegant blend that is considerably more than the sum of its parts, with peppespice, plum and black cherry fruit and savoury tannins.
