The Liberator, New Blood & Chocolate Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz, Coastal Region, South Africa 2020

South African wine specialist and Master of Wine Richard Kelley sourced this Cape blend from Glen Carlou. It does exactly what is says on the can – sweet milk chocolate and vanilla, plus concentrated blackberry and raspberry jam. It’s no gimmick though; there’s enough ripe tannins to stand up to rump steak too.
