A Best Buy |
| TASTING NOTE: Produced from a combination of estate and purchased fruit, the Ernie Els Cabernet has benefited from the cooler conditions of 2014. Linear and refreshing, it's a very pure varietal expression of the grape, with a core of sweet cassis and bramble fruit and stylish oak. Drink: 2016-21. South Africa Special Report. Score - 91 (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, 2016) |
