Signature 2014
South Africa, Stellenbosch
Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc
Description
The Ernie Els Signature Bordeaux Blend is once again extremely impressive in this classic 2014 vintage. Dark at the core with a crimson rim, it is full-bodied, elegantly endowed and finely poised. The nose unravels with pencil shavings, wet earth, cedar, dried leaves and an array of sweet fruits. The new oak is well integrated into a richly-concentrated palate, framed by dry, yet detailed tannins. It offers a contrast of classic nuances, luxuriously pure fruit and modern styling. There is ample structure and depth for it to age effortlessly for a decade of more
