Anthonij Rupert Blend 2016, 750ml

Country: South Africa

Grape Varietal: 41% Cabernet Franc, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot

Tasting Note: Richly seductive with its mélange of black fruits, spice, tobacco leaf, and a captivating floral hint on the nose. Those same opulent berry compote notes are apparent in the mouth: raspberry, blue, and black berries with some violets and nutty spice reminiscent of toasted pecans and hazelnuts. Taut, focused, and reflective of an excellent vintage, the wine has yet to unfurl and show its true colours. It's harmonious, graceful, and richly textured, with a lovely oak platform, but it'll benefit from more aging to reveal its full complexity. Long, impactful, and memorable flavour.

Food Pairing: Beef, Vegetables, Hard Cheese, Lamb

Alcohol Content: 14.5%
