Price Description
This is a new listing. It is rare to see sangiovese from South Africa, contributing sour cherry–red currant lift to this cabernet. There is typical Cape iodine minerality; salami, campfire smoke and spice as well. The wine is mid-weight, taut and spicy, with loads of flavour. Dry, edgy finish. Best from 2008 to 2011. LCBO 27110
