2017 Keermont, Pondokrug, Cabernet Franc, Stellenbosch, South Africa

Description

Still primary on the nose, the 2017 Pondok Rug Cabernet Franc offers a fresh frame of ripe and picturesque juicy red fruit tones on the nose along with red cherry skin, black raspberry, hints of soft green herbs and subtle notions of sage and oak spice. Full-bodied, the wine is fleshy on the palate with generous tannins and a broad, firm mouthfeel and shows the 15% alcohol on the spicy, lingering finish. This may not last as long as the Syrahs of the same range. Just over 2,200 bottles were filled after the wine rested for 22 months in French oak barrels. Decanting is recommended.
