K W V Cathedral Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Western Cape

I was looking for a hearty wine to go with’ steak’ (that’s all my wife said of the main course) and chose this one based on Steve’s rating and the price – a great value, not disappointing at all. Red berry’s and earthy notes on the nose. It has great structure and volume in that you could truly feel the wine on your cheeks. Tannins we strong but not overpowering but I’d suggest decanting 30 mins to let the wine fully open up. At $14.95 I find it a tremendous value; it’ll be showing up at a few of our BBQ’s for sure.
