Leaping Leprechauns!

Rainbow’s End

I am unashamedly a white wine fan but from time to winter time, one does enjoy the occasional red. These were indeed a pot o’ gold!

RED:

  • Cabernet Sauvignon (2010): Over ripe strawberries with covered up spices, slightly rotting cherries, Marmite, boiled up berries with rhubarb, like sipping a floor plan, baked bluegum leaves.
  • Cabernet Sauvignon (2011): Cherry chocolate pudding, sweet spiced jam, plum skin, slightly alcoholic, meaty
  • Cabernet Franc (2011): Green peppercorn mulberries, green peppercorns on cherry tart, clingy velvet, slightly harsh, like bluegum pods & leaves
  • Cabernet Franc (2012): Bush vine, 1 clone, 3 – 4 barrels produced. Sugar cinnamon raspberries, cinnamon steak, sharp fresh cherries with nutmeg, cheeky tart, would age. “Cab fab”
  • Mount Vernon Galileo (2011): Cab Sauv, Petit Verdot, Merlot & Malbec.  Creamed cherries with spice, sour cherries, soft but sharp at the end.


NOTES:
  • No whites or rose
  • Specialize in classic Bordeaux style
  • Area (Banghoek) – ideal for Bordeaux varietals
