This red blend from Kaapzicht surprised me pleasantly. For not an aweful lot of money you get a Merlot - Cabernet Sauvignon blend that really has a lot of character. A slightly woody taste, accompanied by lovely berry/plum flavours, and just a little bit of softness brought on by the Cabernet. This one was slightly acidic, but pleasantly so, and definitely has a lingering taste. It also delivers on the nose. A very nice everyday drinking wine.
I have noticed that this wine needs a bit of time to breathe properly before drinking in order to get the most from it...
