88 pts Wine Spectator Magazine Web 2010 (JM) Alluring black tea and tobacco notes lead the way for black currant, fig paste and crushed blackberry fruit. The finish shows twinges of olive and pepper. Drink now through 2012. 865 cases made.
88 pts Wine Enthusiast Magazine Herbs, pepper, cedar and smoked sausage on the nose and palate give this Cabernet a rustic, inviting character. Flavors are delivered in a mouthfilling, layed way on the tongue, with lots of spice and cedar in the finish. Good minerality and balance mean it's not over-powering for food.
Winemaker Notes
Originally from the north of Scotland, the generations of the Finlayson family have been making wine in the Cape over the p[ast half century. This legacy continues today with the Edgebaston range, made with the same care and attention that has made our wines synonymous with quality and enjoyment. The Edgebaston property is situated on a hillside overlooking the picturesque and historic town of Stellenbosh mountains.
