Mary Le Bow Cabernet Sauvignon-Shiraz-Petit Verdot, Western Cape

40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Shiraz and 20% Petit Verdot from the Robertson region, planted on mineral rich, ancient, decomposed granite soils; the climate is bitingly cold in winter and can be very hot in summer. The blended wine was aged in French Oak for a year. Shows a complex nose of blackcurrant, cassis, mulberry and juniper; the palate is rich and multi-layered finishing on elegant vanilla notes.
