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 is medium bodied with a complex, juicy palate with gentle nuances of ripe plums, violets, black olives, cloves, and liquorice. The wine has a svelte, clean, and dry finish with hints of dried cranberry, tar, graphite, and smoke.
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.
