La Vierge 2008 Temptation The Affair Red (Walker Bay)

Country: South Africa / Walker Bay
Variety: Red Blend
Winery: La Vierge / Temptation The Affair

“The Affair” refers to the relationship between the French and Italian varieties in the blend. Sadly, this isn’t the hottest affair, with the strong game, red currant, strawberry hull, milk chocolate and smoky dried salami notes all downplayed by the lean mouth and waxy finish.
