NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
The Vergelegen Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon pours a deep and inviting ruby, hinting at both concentration and poise.On the nose, it exudes classic Cabernet traits: rich blackcurrant, plums, and a medley of spices, underpinned by a discreet note of mint and the cedary essence of oak aging. The palate is met with a luxurious blend of dark fruit flavors, supported by a scaffold of firm tannins and a lively acidity that lends a refreshing counterpoint. Subtle touches of tobacco and dark chocolate emerge, leading to a refined finish. This Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is a South African icon, showcasing the potential for complexity and finesse in Stellenbosch's terroir.
