Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon 2020
R620,00
Deep garnet colour. Complex nose of cedar wood, cigar box, cassis, pencil shavings, bay leaf and a hint of paprika. Intense palate packed with layers of blackcurrant, black cherry, red plums, walnuts, baking spices and creamy vanilla and cedar wood. This wine has a broad mid palate, beautifully balanced acidity, silky tannins and a long satisfying finish.
