Merlot Petit Verdot Cabernet Sauvignon 2016

Style & Tasting:
Merlot (42%) is the backbone of this wine and together with petit verdot (35%) and cabernet sauvignon (23%), forms a rather pleasurable trio of this Bordeaux style blend. The rendition of these classic varieties is refreshingly different from other similar Cape offerings in that the natural grape tannins (from which wine makers so easily run from in an effort to make easy drinking wines) combine well with the dark black fruit flavours of merlot and cabernet sauvignon on the one hand and the red berry flavours and persistent acidity of the petit verdot.
