2020 Miles Mossop Sam
£62.00
“”Cooler Stellenbosch” is Miles Mossop’s summary of the origins of this assemblage of Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, sourced from four growers in Bottelary and the Polkadraai Hills. Gentle, graceful, smooth and sophisticated, it’s a Bordeaux style blend for Pinot Noir lovers. Leafy, savoury and detailed with cigar box, bramble and red berry flavours and a sprig of mint.”
97 Points Tim Atkin MW
92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc and 3% Merlot from some of the best vineyards around Stellenbosch.
“Almost malted fruit. Salty, umami, dried cherries, dried cranberries, Sichuan pepper. There is something fiercely concentrated and powerful about this wine, and yet there is also a creaminess. The umami element tastes, crazily, like aged Comté. Intense and dense and silk layer upon layer. Damsons. Forest floor. Graphite line driving the finish.”
