Six scrumptious Cabernet Sauvignon’s.

Shirley Griffiths of Vino Pronto does it again this month, with a wonderful selection of Cabernet Sauvignon’s. 

If you like complex berries with cedar and mint notes to wash down the lamb chops, springbok, or just sip on its own then, here’s a selection of six beauties, tasted and approved by Shirley herself. 

What more recommendation could you want! 

Old Well House Cabernet Sauvignon.

Old Well House Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 

Old Well house is a favourite and at R60.00/bottle it’s a winner. Pretty darn complex at the price – sun-ripened berries, rich soil, eucalyptus leaf and more. Seared springbok fillet with a red wine and plum sauce (or nothing). 

Man Vintners Cabernet Sauvignon.

MAN Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 @ R51.00 

is a good value wine. Ripe blackcurrants and a refreshing slightly minty finish cry out for grilled lamb chops (or nothing) 

Pepin Conde Cabernet Sauvignon.

Pepin Conde Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 

@ R78.50 needs to be allowed to breathe for about 1 hour. Ripe black cherries, cedar and a minty-berry finish with fine tannins. Spicy Jambalaya should go down a treat 

South Hill Cabernet Sauvignon.

South Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 

@ R78.50 shows super, concentrated fruit on the nose and palate. Feels like satin and has a lingering, fine, dry finish. Definitely in the top 3. 

Dombeya Cabernet Sauvignon Blanc.

Dombeya Cabernet Sauvignon 2007 

@ R91.00 is fine and elegant with great structure. Made by the only female member of the Cape Winemakers Guild 

Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon.

Le Riche Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

@ R185.00 is consistently good and worth every penny. Classy, full-bodied, rich and complex, it deserves to age (or decant it for a few hours). Definitely pick of the bunch. Rack of lamb.
