The Garland

This Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon presents a deep, rich Persian carpet red hue with an almost black center. The nose offers enticing aromas of crushed black and red berries, complemented by distinct chalky, "tilled earth," and graphite notes. Dried proteas and herbs add complexity, enhanced by integrated cedar and sweet wood spice. On the palate, sweet juicy plums and violets lead to subtle cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla perfumes, indicating well-integrated oak. The wine's bold structure and fresh, fine-grained tannins suggest significant aging potential. A lingering sweet berry compote character concludes with a food-friendly dry finish. This is a classic Stellenbosch Simonsberg Cabernet Sauvignon from world-class terroir.
