Cabernet Sauvignon

2006 Robertson Cabernet Sauvignon

The Methode Ancienne Cabernet Sauvignon from the Robertson region is a stunning example of a well-crafted red wine. This vintage, dating back to 2006, showcases a full-bodied profile with lively acidity that enlivens the palate. The fruit intensity is prominently displayed, offering a delightful bouquet of ripe blackcurrant and rich plum, while subtle hints of oak and spice blend harmoniously in the background. Tannins are firm yet refined, providing structure and a satisfying mouthfeel that enhances the overall experience. This wine is beautifully dry, allowing the intricate flavors to shine through without overwhelming sweetness, making it a fantastic choice for a variety of occasions.
