Ernie Els Wines Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2018 750ml

Juicy, ripe and dark red fruited, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Major Series offers power and elegance in the glass with notes of graphite and brown baking spices. Full-bodied and showing firm tannins, the palate displays notes of oak and black fruits, layers of complexity and brilliant extraction, ending with an impressively long, lingering finish. The wine aged for 17 months in 300-liter French oak barrels, 20% new. 30,000 bottles were made. Bravo! This powerhouse Cabernet will remain fresh and vibrant for years to come.

Very appealing, this dark and juicy red delivers a pure beam of ripe black currant and black raspberry notes that shine brightly. Fresh and well-knit, this marries light, fine tannins and a fragrant range of milled pepper, anise, graphite and bay leaf with the fruit profile. Chewy finish. Drink now through 2025. 4,500 cases made, 500 cases imported. (Alison Napjus)
