Kanonkop's Cabernet Sauvignon has a complex nose, with aromas of black berries, cassis, tobacco with cedar spice and oak.

On the palate Cabernet Sauvignon is soft and full, with concentrated black fruit supported by oak spice, toasted nuts and a hint of fresh fynbos. Tannins are firm but well integrated.

Expected evolution: Kanonkop's Cabernet Sauvignon expresses its best within 15 years of bottling.

Food Pairings: South African red wine to go with all types of steaks, slow-cooked venison, braised beef ribs and aged hard cheeses.
