Ernie Els 2011 Proprietor’s Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Country: South Africa / Proprietor’s
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch
Winery: Ernie Els /

This opens with rich, roasty aromas of blackberry, plum and cassis, with hints of black tea and Violet mints. The medium-weight palate is balanced yet solidly structured, with ample tannins and a cherry skin, pepper and black-tea astringency that lingers on the finish. Drink now–2018.
