Rich, fruity Cabernet-Sauvignon/Merlot blend from award winning family producers, Nelson Estate.

This rich, chocolately Bordeaux style blend is made at Nelson family wine estate, on the seaward side of the Paarl mountain. Its proximity to the ocean gives relief from warm daytime temperatures, bringing a fresh elegant acidity to the wine itself.

Cab Sauv/Merlot, 2003, Dry, Full bodied, 13.5%, Cork

Drink now 2009 - 2013

"Ripe blackcurrant, tomato stalk, light body and some chocolate and smoke to finish. Pretty tannic, though finely chiselled."
