Simonsig 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Country: South Africa /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch
Winery: Simonsig /

This big boy greets us with his deep ruby/black cloak. Loaded with cassis from start to finish, there is tremendous fruit depth here and a full, supple mouthfeel. Reminiscent of one of the successful large-scale ‘97 California Cabernets. Has tannins to resolve, best held for a year or two.
