NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Rustenberg Peter Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon is a full-bodied, bold red wine.On the nose, it has intense aromas of dark fruit, leather, tobacco, and roasted espresso. On the palate, the wine offers layers of dark cherry, currant, and blackberry flavors, with hints of spice and earthy tannins. The finish is long and lingering, with a subtle touch of oak. An excellent expression of classic Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine is well-balanced and sure to please.
