Country: South Africa / Cape Winemakers Guild Sophia
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend Stellenbosch
Winery: Jordan Stellenbosch /
Winemaker: Gary Jordan. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this leads with slightly liquorous aromas of crème de cassis, black licorice, mint oil and cigar box. The palate is smooth, yet boldly structured, with plush tannins and ample acidity to lend support of the lush dark-fruit flavors. Leather and peppery blackberry notes linger on the close.
