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.

Region:


Robertson

Like many South African wine regions, Robertson is in a beautiful location that matches its dramatic scenery with equally impressive wines. Known as the "valley of wine and roses," Robertson lies 100 miles east of Cape Town in the Breede River Valley region. Fed by the Breede and sheltered by the Langeberg Mountains to the north, Robertson Valley is prized for its limestone and gravel soils and temperate Mediterranean climate. From complex Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon to dynamic Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and even world-class sparkling wines—Robertson has it all.
