This restrained use of oak allows the dark-fruit character of the Cabernet Sauvignon to remain at the forefront, while adding subtle cedar, spice and polish rather than overwhelming the fruit. The result is a rich but composed Stellenbosch Cabernet with both generosity and structure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeep ruby-red with a dark garnet hue.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConcentrated aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry and plum lead the way, followed by subtle cassis and darker berry notes.
