Louis Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2007

Tasting notes
A subtle mint and eucalyptus mix which has blackberries and strawberry fruit fuses on the nose. The flavors flow into the mouth and mix with soft, yummy tannins to end with a lingering finish. One of the most ponderous wines you will find, a true muse.

In the vineyard
This wine was made from grapes in the Helderberg region, where all the different components were wild fermented, punched down and left to age in French oak barrels. The Merlot and Cabernet were aged separately, and spent 24 months on oak; 20% of the barrels were new.
