Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley - Neil Ellis

Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley - Neil EllisWith the Neil Ellis Cabernet Sauvignon Jonkershoek Valley, a first-class red wine flows into the glass. It displays a wonderfully dense, purple-red color. This South African red also shows a transition to garnet red. When the glass is swirled, this red wine reveals high viscosity, which shows in pronounced church windows on the rim of the glass. Poured into a red wine glass, this red wine from South Africa presents delightfully fragrant aromas of blueberry, blackcurrant, blackberry, and mulberry, rounded off by cigar box, toasted barrique and lovage contributed by barrel aging. This wine captivates with its elegantly dry taste profile. It was bottled with exceptionally little residual sugar. As one would naturally expect from a top-class wine, this South African, despite all its dryness, enchants with the finest balance. Excellent flavor does not necessarily require much residual sugar. On the palate, the texture of this powerful red wine is wonderfully velvety and dense. On the finish, this matured red wine from the Coastal Region wine-growing area delights with considerable length. Hints of blackberry and blackcurrant appear again.
