An unexpectedly yummy Bordeaux blend from coastal South Africa. Real bang for buck—smoked cedar, dark cherries, that kind of thing. A little heavy on the oaky stuff, but it’s balanced by really strong fruit. I just don’t think of this blend for South Africa, and at this price. Thanks Dexter Wines for the rec.

Medium body. A bit spicy. Nice dry finish.

Big fan.

Here’s the 2015 blend: 42% cab sauv, 39% merlot, 8% cab franc, 5% shiraz, 3% petit verdot, 2% cinsaut, 1% pinotage
