A classic Simonsberg Cabernet, exuding a sense of coolness, despite the warm vintage conditions. A perfumed nose filled with notes of blackcurrants, fennel, cigar box, tea leaf and "fynbos" shrub. The palate is delicate and fresh, with an austere old-world charm about it. Grainy tannins compliment the earthy profile, with subtle hints of liquorice on the lengthy finish.

Bright cherry aromas blend with hints of cinnamon. Focused acidity and mineral texture provide support to a concentrated palate. Rich flavors of cherry, bell pepper and hints of oak spice blend on this flavorful wine that has a delicious finish. Drink now-2028.

The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon has to shake off a bit of reduction, but eventually offers plenty of black fruit, pressed violets and light marine/seaweed aromas. The medium-bodied palate delivers fine-grained tannins and a mixture of red and black fruit laced with tobacco and white pepper, leading to an elegant and quite persistent finish. There's some quality winemaking on show here.

Possessing a deep magenta core with a dark ruby edge, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon emanates with aromas of brown baking spices from the 50% new French oak, followed by a dusty profile of dark red fruits with hints of dried herbs. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is similar to a young Bordeaux from a warm vintage, with fleshy fruit and firm tannins that grip the gumline. The wine displays a long, complex finish that should last past its 15th birthday. Be sure to have some roasted meats on hand to enjoy with this lovely bottle. Give it a try.

Hints of dried flowers and mint play on the creme de cassis and black cherry flavors in this elegant red, which is fresh and medium-bodied, with fine tannins and notes of espresso, star anise and smoke wafting on the lingering, lightly chewy finish. Drink now through 2026. 4,000 cases made, 314 cases imported.
