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
