Parcels of outstanding fruit that catch the eye of winemaker, Keppell Smith are listed under Frère Cadet ('Younger Brother').
Serengale-grown Merlot Cabernet is one such parcel, delivering an incredible fragrance lifted in violet, rose, anise, cranberry, plum, black cherry, incense and spice. It is followed fluently, persuasively on the palate with a finely detailed elegance.
Merlot in the lead shows its aromatic power, with cabernet bringing fine tannin and a gently herbal support. 93 Points.
