Vergelegen, Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot, Stellenbosch, South Africa 2020

A Cabernet Sauvignon-driven Bordeaux blend aged for 18 months in French oak (20% new). Good varietal typicity on the nose, featuring blackcurrant leaves and green pepper, with underlying dark fruits. Juicy with a woody grip on the palate, it is hearty with ripe fruits and hints of smoky vanilla. The finish reveals ripe prunes and dried herbs.
