From a famed Stellenbosch estate comes another fantastic vintage of the Estate red. A blend of Cabernet (53%) and Shiraz (33%), with Merlot picking up the slack, this awesome wine shows all that the Stellenbosch region can be. Nearly black in color, the nose is awash with clove, cinnamon and coffee notes that doni??t overpower the dark, plummy fruit. Its rich mouthfeel is loaded with dark plum and cassis flavors and sprinkled coffee grounds, ending in a long, earthy finish. Drink now and over the next 8 years.
