Avontuur Estate Wine, Baccarat 2012, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Tasting Note: A soft, Bordeaux-blend-styled red blend that accentuates the floral elements in the cabernet franc-based blend.

Deep-intensity purple in color this wine has a nose of black plum, raspberry, black cherry, cedar, violet and blossom.

On the palate the dry, medium-plus bodied wine has soft, ripe, medium-plus tannin with a smooth texture and fruit suggested on the nose.

There is balance between the black fruit and floral elements.

Bottle Note: A blend of cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. Enjoy now or over the next 7 years. Perfect with robust red meat or venison dishes.
