For that Médoc character without the price, this is a great-value blend with distinctive Cape styling. Firm and structured with well-extracted tannins, fresh acidity and integrated roasted coffee oak, it boasts inky cassis from the 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, fleshy plum from the Merlot and a fresh herbal lift from the Cabernet Franc.
