TOKARA Reserve Collection Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

This wine displays a brilliant purple-black core and deep ruby edge. The nose leads with classic graphite notes, black cherry and briary fruits interwoven with aromas of cassis and five spices. There is a deft freshness underscoring these aromas with hints of ripe tomato skin and fynbos scrub. The palate is pleasantly full-bodied with flavours mirroring aromas all leading to a multilayered persistent finish.
