Cape D'Or Cabernet Sauvignon, Swartland, South Africa 2020 Case (6x750ml) Calchaqui Valley smoke tobacco and graphiteSpiced blackberry, plum and cassis form the fruity soul of this wine's bouquet, with touches of black currant leaf and wood spice in the background that lend added intrigue. The medium weight palate is plush and velvety in feel, with ample acidity and ripe black fruit flavors that are framed by supple tannins, which lend a lightly lingering texture through the close.
