This single vineyard South African Cabernet from Graham Beck, a non-profit winery dedicated to philanthropy and ecological sustainability, is quite rich in style yet very sleek and focused. Earthy undertones and ripe tannins are set against a concentrated core of cassis and black cherry fruit in this very classy bottling from the Robertson estate in the Breederiver Valley.
