Description
This wine is a blend of red wine styles, with a focus on the Cape region of South Africa. The wine has a dark, intense nose with aromas of black cherries, cardamom, sweet tobacco, espresso, and subtle whiffs of perfume. The wine has a complex, juicy palate with gentle nuances of ripe plums, violets, black olives, cloves, and liquorice. The mid-palate is focused, lithe, and elegant with very fine cocoa powdery tannins. The wine is medium bodied, very balanced, with an earthy, layered character, covering the entire spectrum of berry fruit - from tart red plums to rich blue and black berries. The finish is svelte, clean, and dry, peppery and lingering, with hints of dried cranberry, tar, graphite, and smoke. The wine is bottled at 1.5 liters.
The Chocolate Block is a Southern French inspired blend with Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault and Viognier as well as Cabernet Sauvignon for structure. The nose is exceptionally perfumed with abundant red and dark berry fruit, violets and intense aromas of white pepper. Dark fruit follows through onto an opulent palate with notes of cardamom, cumin, and cloves. White pepper lingers on a smooth, lifted finish.
The make-up of this wine is tweaked from vintage to vintage to best reflect the season and the ancient vines of great character that are an integral part of the wines charm and personality.
Bottle size: 1.5L
