Uva Mira The Mira Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

R356.00

Region: Helderberg

Tasting note:

Alluring aromatic swirl of red fruit with some floral notes, opening up to a gentle cascade of pencil shavings, minerality, delicate purple flowers, fresh tobacco leaf and some dried herbs. Tight on the palate with elegant cherry, some tobacco leaf and a graphite edge. Perfectly balanced with layers of fruit purity and expansive, cashmere texture which permeates across the palate and lingers to the dry finish.
