Ernie Els Proprietor's Blend 2007
Stellenbosch, Coastal Region, South AfricaThe blend is reminiscent of a cross between old Coonawarra and Niagara with its cedar-y leafy cran-cherry nose. The entry is supple, the tannins well-managed with plenty of cedar, juicy red fruits and leafy, floral smoky notes. The blend is a big mix of grapes: 55 cabernet sauvignon, 22 shiraz, 8 merlot, 5 cabernet franc, 5 malbec and 5 petit verdot. A bit old style and leafy but clean and when served with a big steak would be perfect.Tasted: 06 November 2012Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:AB | $41.00 | 750ml | private wine shops |
