The 2008 The Bridge was matured for 24 months entirely in new French oak. Intense wild mint scents dominate the nose that obscures varietal character. The palate has a pleasant succulent entry with good acidity and clean, pure mint-tinged finish, but the overall impression is one of a wine is trying too hard. Drink now-2016. Rickety Bridge is located in Franschhoek where just 15-hectares of its fifty are under vine.Importer: Protea Wines, Bel Air. MD.
