Description
In a nutshell:
A big, rich and fruity Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon based blend from South Africa.
The lowdown:
This is one of the top Journey's End red wines coming from a single very low yielding block which consistently produces concentrated, high quality grapes. The wine is named after a strong wind called the Cape Doctor that blows in from False Bay which benefits the Journey's End vineyards by extending the ripening period leading to concentrated flavours and great, balanced, natural acidity. The 2016 is a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties 41% Cabernet Sauvignon, 37% Cabernet Franc, 11% Merlot, and the rest Petit Verdot and Malbec. Big and deep in the glass with rich, dark fruit and cassis notes with touches of cinnamon and nutmeg spices. The body is big and smooth with ripe tannins and that balanced acidity finished with a long length.
When to drink:
Drinking well now but one that can cellar up to 2027. Juicy steaks, gourmet burgers or ribs really fit the bill here. Or if you'r not a meat eater try with grilled portabello mushrooms.
