Four Cousins Collection Cab Sauv 750ml
★★★★★ 5.0 (1 review)You want a red that just gets on with it. No homework, no swirling-and-frowning. Four Cousins Collection Cab pours deep ruby and tastes like ripe blackcurrant wrapped in a little chocolate. The tannins are soft, so it goes down smooth from the first sip. Grab it for a Friday in, a plate of choma, or that moment you just want a proper glass of red without the fuss.
First whiff is the fun part. Rich chocolate and mocha toastiness, like the edge of a brownie, sitting over dark fruit. On the palate it's all ripe blackcurrant and plum, juicy and rounded. It's only lightly oaked, so you get a soft hint of vanilla and coffee rather than a big woody slap. The tannins (that grippy, dry feel on your gums) are gentle and well-behaved here, so it stays smooth and approachable start to finish. Dry, but the fruit is so ripe it feels almost generous.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This one comes from Van Loveren Family Vineyards, a big name in the Robertson Valley a couple of hours out of Cape Town. Four Cousins is their flagship and one of South Africa's most-poured wines, named after, you guessed it, four actual cousins from the founding family. They built the brand on the idea that good wine shouldn't need a manual, and this Collection Cab is exactly that thinking in a bottle.
