Vergelegen 2005 Mill Race Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Stellenbosch)

Country: South Africa / Stellenbosch
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot
Winery: Vergelegen / Mill Race

The nose has a ripe plum and savory spice character in this sophisticated red. On the palate, cedar, mocha and pepper give it a rich, brooding quality. Tannins are fine but ageable. The finish is lingering and spicy. Pair now with richer meat dishes; give it a few years to age and it will be even better.
