"This wine shows aromas of spice, pencil shavings, fynbos and dark cherries. The complex, layered palate delivers a silky soft finish with powdery tannins. The juicy characteristics of this extraordinary wine contribute to its bold structure and complexity." —winemaker Wine Anthology Team Review-Why don't people drink more Cabernet Franc? Many may not know this but Cabernet Franc is the "father" to Cabernet Sauvignon (along with Sauvignon Blanc as it's "mother") and there are examples from everywhere from France, Long Island and Argentina. But the Mentors 2018 from South Africa is really something special. Dark berry and baking spice meld seamlessly together in a wine that explodes with flavor and defies its price point with every sip. So do yourself a favor and be adventurous when you drink this delicious Cabernet Franc. Enjoy! |
