Black Pearl Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2003 |
Cabernet Sauvignon Tasting NotesBright ruby red, high pitched aromas of plums, bitter chocolate and cedarwood. Integrated tannins, well balanced, full bodied with a long finish of currant, mint and a strong fynbos character.
Food Accompaniments
A CLASS ACT – A natural to pair with traditional meat dishes and hearty pastas. Our favorite: rack of lamb.
