Le Riche Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon - This multi award winning full bodied wine is remarkably aromatic with layers of clean sweet cedary oak. On the palate it is supple, succulent and rich showing red-berry fruits, chocolate and a round, spicy earthiness. This complex wine can be cellared to 2015, however it is drinkable now but decanting will enhance the flavour and complexity.
Etienne Le Riche produces magnificently fine, structured and complex wines at his Jonkershoek Valley cellar. The wines have an elegant understated style with unusually fine grained tannins, subtle oak and delicate fruit. Although not aiming to be Bordeaux replicas, they do have much in common with the balance and poise sometimes found in top Margaux. Etienne produces only 4500 cases in total.
