Stark-Conde Three Pines Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 - 750ml

Robert Parker

The 2016 vintage was a dry growing season resulting in wines that are intensely aromatic with velvety tannins. With this wine we are always looking for a fine balance between Power and Elegance. When young, this wine shows the violet/cassis/black cherry notes typical of this vineyard, coupled with the fine elegant tannins for which the Jonkershoek Valley is known. This is the second year that we used Cabernet Franc in the blend, replacing the Merlot. The use of Cabernet Franc emphasizes the more perfumed notes in this wine.
