The Work Of Time

2003 Robertson Merlot 65%, Cabernet Franc 22%, Cabernet Sauvignon 11%, Petite Verdot 2%

Springfield The Work Of Time from the Robertson region is an exceptional red blend that showcases the meticulous craftsmanship of its creators. Composed of a harmonious mix of Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, and a touch of Petite Verdot, this wine delivers a rich and multi-layered experience. On the palate, it presents a medium to full-bodied profile with a bright acidity that invigorates the senses. The fruit intensity is pronounced, featuring luscious notes of dark berries and plums intertwined with hints of herbs and tobacco. Tannins are notably structured, lending a firm backbone that complements the overall complexity of the wine. This vintage, from 2003, exemplifies aging potential, resulting in a beautifully rounded and elegant expression that is both delightful to savor and impressive to share.
