This Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Franc and Merlot is chock full of mint and wet leaves, bringing a wash of herbal freshness over the palate. Grown in the cool climate region of Walker Bay, this is supple, easy drinking stuff that shows lovely precision and focus in the mouth, and finishes with clean flavors of red currant and berries.
