NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Mulderbosch Faithful Hound Red is an intense and flavorful blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Merlot.On the nose, it offers aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and currant, with hints of tobacco, leather, and spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, with smooth tannins, and a long finish. The flavors of dark fruit and spice linger on the palate. This is a complex and rewarding wine that pairs well with grilled meats and hard cheeses.
