Klein Constantia KC Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot 2009 Case of 6 Description
General
The KC range is made with the modern consumer in mind. Through the use of innovative production techniques and sourcing of high quality grapes from throughout the Cape Winelands we aim to make an approachable yet high quality wine which is ready to drink on purchase, yet will benefit from an additional few years of bottle maturation.
Description
Appearance of classic claret with its ruby core with garnet rim. The nose combines wonderful briary elements with overtones of cedar wood and cigar box. The elegant palate is tautly structured yet displays mid-palate fruit sweetness and generous palate weight, finishing on a more-ish, savoury note.
