Thank you for the suggestion on Havana Hills Lime Road. We have not had it and will add it to our list of wines to try.
Question for you: Did you purposely decant the wine for 4 hours? Tell us more about this if you can! Thanks for your great comments!

It’s a terrific blend of cab, merlot, and shiraz that left me begging for more even after a case was consumed. There are so many complex flavors coming out of the finish of this wine, it can be served with any food or is perfect on it’s own. All for under ten dollars. South Africa is on the rise as a world wine center.

The tannins were still present in the finish which shows just how powerful this vintage is. Very impressive.
