Graham Beck
The Game Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
Robertson, Breede River Valley, Western Cape, South Africa
Dark ruby in color with a purplish rim.
Earthy nose of blueberries, cherries, chocolates, smoke, licorice, oak, vanilla, cherries, raspberries, earth, forest floor, smoke, green pepper and peppercorn.
Full bodied with medium acidity and long legs.
Bone dry on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, earth, forest floor, chocolates, tobacco, bell pepper and peppercorn.
Medium plus on the finish with firm tannins and black pepper.
A Nice Cabernet from South Africa. Earthy, and needs food to accompany it. Still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature, but already enjoyable. I had this vintage a year ago and still no change. I'll try again in a year...
14% alcohol by volume.

Smoke and hide on the nose in the best of ways. Juicy plum, black pepper, oak finish. Big body and a long clean finish. Stands up with spicy foods.

Great label with South African Leopard!
Outstanding SACab. Well balanced fruit throughout. Paired well with venison.

It was spicy to me which I typically don't like but it was decent.
