Cono Sur Valle Central Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 88 Points

Cono Sur Valle Central Cabernet Sauvignon 2011 88 Points


Medium clear, ruby red with electric purple rim.


Clean, medium plus intensity, delicately ripe, cassis, blackcurrant, blackberries, blueberries and red fruits of the forest medley, touch of earthiness and graphite note, excellent purity of fruit, lightly oaked lending smoky, dark chocolate and light toast.


Dry with bright acidity, medium alcohol (13%), medium tannin, polished texture, broad, juicy, packed with cassis and blackcurrant , the palate is drier and more restraint than nose may have suggested, clean, purity of fruit follows through, full style, fresh and elegant.

Now until 2018


Bottle purchase at Checkers Hyper Fourways Mall at R 44.99, and excellent bargain and certainly over delivers on price, one thing is for sure there is not many South African Cabernet Sauvignon at this price point in retail, that delivers that much, so perhaps considering the distance it has travelled and still be retail at an amazing price with the delivery certified Carbon Neutral, there is one thing or two here SA wineries can learned.

Bravo to Checkers Hyper to bring Cono Sur in South Africa, keep it up and why not other interesting wines from around the world at such a good price.
This is a must buy
