Beyerskloof Faith 2007 84+ Points
Medium clear, bright russet red with slight garnet rim, medium plus concentration, medium plus viscosity, no evidence of gas or sediment.
Clean, medium plus intensity with notes of ripe strawberries, dark cherries and just ripe plum, wet earth note, peppery subtle oaking lending a spicy profile.
Dry, confirms fruit, juicy with leathery note, fleshy kind of crisp plums note, medium tannin, medium plus alcohol and medium acidity.
Overall medium complexity, massaged tannins, fresh with a delicate and elegant aftertaste, if only could have more X factor would have received higher rating.
For now until 2016, served at 13 degrees Celsius with a grilled ostrich in creamy green Madagascar peppercorn sauce
Blend of Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), Merlot (30%), Shiraz & Pinotage
