The Tokara Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 has a beautiful bright ruby colour. There are aromas of cranberry, subtle cassis and blackberry on the nose complimented by underlying notes of five spice and the slightest hint of vanilla.
The palate is packed with delicious dark fruit interwoven in spice and light toasty notes from the barrels. A tannin profile reminiscent of silky dark chocolate with poised freshness round off the finish.
Ageing potential: This wine will drink well now but will benefit from cellaring.
Food pairing: Enjoy with lightly smoked Springbok carpaccio, grilled veal chops, meaty stews or a fantastic steak.
Alcohol: 14.42% ABV

string(589) "One of the most ubiquitous grape varieties in the world; Cabernet Sauvignon. Together with Pinot Noir it vies for the crown of greatest red variety in the world. So multifaceted and so adaptable, it is as happy in the Pauillac vineyards of Château Latour as it is in the high altitude vineyards of the Andes. So suited to oak and with a firm tannic backbone, it is very often utilised as part of a blend. Though Bordeaux is its natural home, it has spread through the wine world, finding notable homes in Stellenbosch, Coonawarra, Langhorne Creek and the Barossa Valley to name but a few."
