VINUM AFRICA CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Appellation: Stellenbosch, South Africa

A deep, shiny cherry hue and smooth, rich spicy nose combine with individual flavors, layered structure & generous fruit.  The aim is to combine the classic structure of Old World Cabs, with a nod to the warmth of the New World’s accessible fruit.  Intelligent oaking compliments rather than dominates the wine, allowing it to reflect its origin’s natural flavors.  Cigar box, blueberry, cherry and mocha mingle seamlessly, bridging the lapse between sips.

Big, dense, and ample, it is a medium-bodied, satin-textured effort crammed with sweet, spicy black fruits.  Fresh, expressive and enormously appealing.
