About This Wine


Izak's 177

Cabernet Sauvignon

Our Izak’s 177 Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious example of a classic grape variety thriving in a New World region. With ripe red fruit flavors and sturdy, well-balanced textures, this wine embodies the beauty of the Western Cape. After planting the country’s first vines during the mid-1600s, it did not take long for winemakers to realize the vast potential that could be found in South African soils. French native Cabernet Sauvignon has dominated red grape plantings in the Western Cape since its arrival there, thriving in the region’s diverse climate and abundant sunshine. The surrounding oceans govern growing conditions with cool offshore currents and powerful summer winds. These conditions are responsible for the ripeness and varietal freshness that make South African Cabernet so desirable. With our Izak’s 177, we invite you to experience this sought-after style and share its story with family and friends. Scroll through the image carousel above to learn more about this wine.

Wine Region


Western Cape

The majority of South Africa's best wines are produced in the southwest coastal zones around Cape Town, known collectively as the Western Cape. Sandwiched between the country's majestic mountains and its cooling ocean coasts (the Atlantic to the west of the Cape of Good Hope, the Indian Ocean to its east), the Western Cape offers a wealth of winemaking riches. Regions here include the Breede River Valley, Cape South Coast, Coastal Region, Klein Karoo and Olifants River.

  • A figure representing the Oak tasting note. Oak
  • A figure representing the Raspberry tasting note. Raspberry

On the nose, you are greeted with oak-influenced aromas of vanilla followed by a touch of fresh herbs. A medium-bodied palate, modest acidity and sturdy tannic structure allow plump raspberry and redcurrant flavors shine. Fruit forward, dry and textural with a food-friendly finish.
