Fantastic - smooth, creamy, long silky finish

Cathedral Cellar Cabernet-sauvignon 2024, Western Cape

Elegant, juicy and well structured cabernet. It is dry with ripe but not overripe fruit aromas and flavours. Very smooth with aromas of black cherry and cassis fruit with graphite, black olive and mild oak spice plus floral and herbal notes.

Note - 2023 vintage. From the Four Mile Creek VQA. Fruity and a bit riper, with less earth and minerality, than their bench offerings. 53% whole cluster.

Gave one to Randy P

Pecchenino San Luigi Dolcetto Di Dogliani 2022, Doc

Delicious - ripe cherry and black pepper with a long, tart cherry finish. Double thumbs up.

Undeniably delicious, this expressive dolcetto leans into the grape’s naturally soft acidity, yet holds its ground with fine-grained, gently grippy tannins. A clean, low-intervention red that lets the fruit do the talking. Bold, juicy, lightly ferrous with a scattering of dried rose petals. Salty and savoury but lifted by sweetly ripened red fruit. Honest, grounded, and unmistakably of its place.
