About this Item

Alto
Cabernet Sauvignon 1997
4 (1 x 4) 1500ml
This impressive Cabernet Sauvignon blends 'Old World' elegance with the full-bodied, fruit-driven character typical of wines from an area known as the golden Triangle. Named for its superior terroir, the Golden Triangle lies at the heart of Stellenbosch's reputation for producing South Africa's defining Cabernet Sauvignons. Classic Alto elegance, in perfect drinking condition out of the large formats.

Critics Ratings

'Ageworthy, top rated Cabernet, classically structured, needing time to reach peak. Cassis and plums, with hints of mocha and almond, bursting from deep ruby '97, announcing concentrated and well-balanced palate with fine, silky tannins and satisfying finish.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2001, 4*
