KWV Contemporary Collection Cabernet Sauvignon – Merlot 2011 81+ Points



Ruby red with slight purple rim.
Clean, ripe cassis, black plums, spicy and peppery, with slight Cabernet herbaceous note, but not green, subtle delicate oaking.

Dry with dash of residual sugar, round and full texture, juicy with smooth tannins, fairly full bodied with moderate plus alcohol of 13.5% abv.

Pocket friendly red, with character to go with simple Sunday lunch roast or beef prego roll.

If you like Ken Forrester Petit Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot or NederburgEdelrood you will enjoy this wine.
