Dieu Donné, Cabernet Sauvignon Shiraz 2015, Franschhoek, South Africa
Tasting Note: An aromatic expression of cabernet sauvignon and shiraz that delivers the grapes in a ripe, smooth style.
Deep-intensity purple in color, this wine has a nose of black and red plum, forest floor, raspberry and red cherry.
On the palate the dry, medium-plus bodied red blend is smooth with grippy, high tannin.
There is concentration and flavor intensity, however the blend lacks midpalate complexity.
Bottle Note: A soft, smooth new world blend from cabernet sauvignon and shiraz grapes. Showing fruity, black plum flavors with a hint of pepper. Enjoy on its own or with a robust meal.
