Pour this and the room slows down a notch. It's a properly grown-up red: deep dark-berry fruit, a velvety middle, and just enough grip to make every sip mean something. Think the kind of bottle you open when there's nyama choma on the grill or you just want something that drinks well above its price. We'll have it at your door fast, any hour, so go on.
First sniff is a basket of ripe dark fruit: blackcurrant (that's cassis, the punchy blackberry-jam smell), black cherry and plum, with a dusting of spice and a whiff of cedar and cigar box from its time in oak. On the palate it's full and layered, fruit up front, a hint of leather and dark chocolate underneath, and smooth tannins (that's the grippy, mouth-drying bit) that frame a long, dry finish. Polished, not jammy. It actually tastes like someone cared.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Nederburg is a heritage name out of Paarl in South Africa's Western Cape, with roots going all the way back to 1791. The grapes for this Cab come off top vineyards across Darling, Stellenbosch and Paarl, grown on granite, sandstone and shale soils that keep the fruit fresh and the tannins firm. It's then matured in oak for a good year-plus, which is where that cedar-and-spice polish comes from.
