Windy Peak Cabernet Merlot 2010

Again, Windy Peak are delivering varietal character for not a lot of dollars this time in the form of a Cabernet Merlot blend. Ripe blackcurrant is partnered with nutmeg, pepper and dried herbs. So juicy, there is something very quaffable about this wine. Enjoy with Boerewors and truffled mash as a spruced up classic.
