The Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2020 displays cigar box and cedar aromatics that buoy a dark cherry radiance, crushed herbs – thyme and wild rosemary – cinnamon smoke, spicy vanilla pod and an undercurrent of forest berries, brambles and sappy twigs. Alpine and fresh. Red plums burst on the palate, juicy and vivid, red and black cherries fold in, supported by graphite-fresh tannins and a plummy acidity. There’s a contained vibrancy to the wine, like a singularity – a promise of evolving
and complex development in the years to come.
Alcohol: 14.138% 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."
