About this Item
Cabernet Sauvignon is the signature varietal of Stark-Condé and this particular wine is the bedrock of the winery. This award-winning Cabernet is blended with traditional Bordeaux varietals grown on the farm. This wine displays a rich palate, a long finish, and fine tannins typical of a Jonkershoek Valley wine.

Critics Ratings
‘A winey, tangy style for Cabernet, with damson plum, linzer torte and loganberry fruit stitched with savory herb and fresh tobacco leaf notes. Features a long, iron-tinged finish.’ - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Feb 2013)
‘The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon is blended with 6% Petit Verdot, 5% Merlot and 2% Cabernet Franc and spent 22 months in French oak. It has a lively blackberry and boysenberry scented bouquet with a touch of oyster shell. The palate is sweet and sappy on the entry with crisp tannins and vibrant ripe blackberry pastille and blueberry notes. It is nicely balanced and pure towards the finish. You know, I approve of this more than the flagship wine.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate (Dec 2012)
