Claime d'OR Robertson Cabernet Sauvignon Rose 2011 80+ Points



Dark hue for a rose with slight brown/coppery rim.

Clean, expressive, high intensity of Cabernet fruit, strawberry daiquiri note, cherry pips, with peppery, herbaceous note, captivating aromatic defintion for a rose, the alcohol is noticeable, though on label it shows only 13% abv.

Dry with dash residual sugar, mentholly freshness with delicately juicy red berries, spicy profile with peppery complexity, moderate plus acidity, unmistakably Cabernet, charming rose  to be enjoyed around a braai or a roasted salmon and Piperade sauce.

Drink now until 2014
