Riebeek Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

An exciting new world style wine with upfront blackcurrant flavours. The black fruit is well-balanced with subtle French oak for a complex nose and an elegant and lingering follow-through. An exceptional example of a lighter style Cabernet Sauvignon that can be enjoyed while still young.

Enjoy with red meat and serve at room temperature.
