2019 Restless River, Main Road and Dignity Cabernet Sauvignon, Hemel en Aarde, South Africa

The 2019 Main Road & Dignity has a lot of flair on the nose. Interestingly, there are floral elements here reminiscent of a Syrah. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tannins on the entry, fresh, and granular in texture with graphite and iodine-infused black fruit. Concentrated on the finish, less expressive than the 2020 at the moment, it will reward those who cellar this for 4-5 years.

Drink 2026 - 2038
