this pinotage-based blend, with 29% cabernet sauvignon and 8% merlot, opens with intense aromas of boysenberry, blackberry and plum that are hit with earthy accents of tree bark, balsamic herbs and cigar. the fruity concentration continues through to the rich, plush palate, framed by bold tannins that lend overall balance and structure. final notes of cocoa nib, toasted spice and charred earth grace the long finish.
