Aslina Umsasane. Umsasane means Acacia tree and was Ntiski's grandmother's nickname.
This is a blend of Cab S, Cab F and Petit Verdot.
More closed in the nose. This may bloom with time in bottle. It is savory and dense. A good alternative to less fruit Cab such as those from Bordeaux.

It drinks like a bold Bordeaux with a burst of dark fruit and an earthiness that gives way to a floral middle and a gritty, graphite finish. Great wine!
