Restless River 'Main Road & Dignity' Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Now includes 20% of a vineyard planted in 2017 on Cederberg shale in addition to older blocks on granite. Matured for 24 months in 225-litre barrels, 30% new. Red, blue and black berries, musk, violets, the merest hint of leafiness, vanilla and earth on the nose. The palate shows good fruit depth and velvet-like tannins – succulent and fleshy rather than overtly plush. Alc: 13.7%.

CE’s rating: 94/100
