Bartinney Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

This Cabernet Sauvignon is truly a classic in style, with a rich aroma, up-front cassis, tobacco and pencil lead on the nose. Delicious rich plumb and chocolate, are structured by firm, yet restrained tannins, which make way for an elegant finish.

The initial impression on the nose unveils a delicate veil of vanilla and freshly toasted almonds, swiftly followed by the luscious notes of dark berries and a hint of cocoa. These elements seamlessly support the opulent layers of dark plum and berry fruits that follow suit. While the tannins present a slightly textured edge, they will soften with time, balancing with the fruit’s density. The structure is so complex, that different characteristics reveal themselves with each new tasting sip. The Banghoek air temperature, which is a few degrees lower than Stellenbosch at any given day during the year, coupled with the meticulous selective picking and sorting of the berries, has especially paid off and is reflected in the purity of the wine.
