Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, Tokara

The Tokara Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon’s nose leads with classic graphite notes, briary fruits interwoven with aromas of five spice and the faintest hint of dried porcini. There is a freshness underscoring these aromas with hints of dark cherry, red currant and fynbos scrub – a classic expression of Simonsberg Cabernet. The palate is pleasantly full bodied with flavours mirroring aromas all leading to a multi-layered persistent finish.

Ageing potential: This wine drinks well now but will benefit from ageing until 2026.

Food pairing: Grilled steak with Bearnaise sauce or Roast lamb shoulder with rosemary and garlic jus, potato dauphinoise and long-stemmed broccoli with lightly toasted almond flakes.

Alcohol: 14.39% ABV
