Description

Guardian Peak Cabernet Sauvignon

Cellar: Guardian Peak Wines
Description: A single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon made from grapes grown on the slopes of Simonsberg. The Garland is Guardian Peak’s icon wine. The colour is deep and dark with opaque almost black centre. Sweet, fully ripe plums with juicy black berry cordial shine through a discreet lead pencil and dry herbaceous veil. This indicates the fruit is opening and overcoming the flavours of extraction from the skins. The clever use of oak keeps all the spiciness and toast aromas well integrated and only plays a supportive role. Entry on the palate delivers a textbook Simonsberg Cabernet bouquet of graphite, cigar box and freshly tilled earth with ripe cassis showing through a window which reveals the wine’s future maturation and evolution. As time goes on the juicy, berry fruit and violets will emerge with increasing intensity. The classic, fine-grained tannins provide a beautiful framework for the deeply concentrated flavours while still retaining the finesse of the exceptional .

Tasting Notes: The palate shows good tannic grip to frame the more pronounced fleshy plum and cherry flavors, which carry through with moderate intensity to the medium-length finish. There is a nice purple flower element as well, with a soft mentholated herbal character reminiscent of black currant leaf. The wine has aromas of cranberry, subtle cassis and blackberry with underlying notes of vanilla and oak. The wine is fresh and elegant with a smooth lingering aftertaste.
