Flagstone The Music Room Cabernet Sauvignon, Western Cape

The Cabernet grapes come from four distinctive locations: 35% Elgin, 25% Wellington, 20% Breedekloof and 20% Robertson. On the nose, summer fruits, cassis, fennel, mint, dark, bitter chocolate are all wrapped up in serious, warm toasty oak. The palate is all about chunky, chewy, integrated tannins. The rewarding mouth-feel is complemented by concentrated flavours of cassis, blueberry, wild mint and chocolate.
