Red with pink rim. This classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is definitely one of Nederburg's more serious wines. Red fruit and vanilla on the nose, and continued on the tongue. Good oaking and perhaps a whiff of coffee. Moderate tail. This wine from a mainstream producer can be taken serious, and is a worthy supermarket blockbuster, though you will find the Baronne from Nederburg is probably more value for your money.
