Douglas Green Vineyards Creations Western Cape Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 85 Points


Ruby cherry red with slight garnet rim. Quite expressive, blackcurrant, cassis, blueberries, earthy loamy note, oak vanillin, cigar, tobacco ash, light toast.

Dry with some residual sugar, medium bodied, medium alcohol (13.5%), massage tannin, medium acidity, clean, pure Cabernet fruit, just right extractions, medium length, good complexity. Honest. Now until 2017.

Very good value at less than R 40 trade price, perfect for wine list, at a time when on con consumer have really traded down on their wine expenses!
