Dense Ruby - opaque. Very Cabernet - cassis, mulberry and spice. Hard to pick as an identifiably South African Cabernet from the few Stellenbosch Cabs I have had. I have had similar Australian Cabernets. It is of a similar high standard. 2009 was a great vintage in many parts of the world as it was in Stellenbosch. The next day mulberry and soft tannins - a chocolate nuance - very mellow. I wanted to introduce the kids to South African Cabernets.
