NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This full-bodied Meerlust Red is a classic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.The nose features aromas of dark fruit, cassis, blackberry and earthy notes, with hints of oak and spice. On the palate, the wine is rich and velvety, with ripe tannins and a long, lingering finish. It is a perfect example of South African winemaking at its best.
