A. A. Badenhorst 2021 Secateurs Red Blend

50% Shiraz, 25% Cinsault, 25% Grenache. Black and red fruits, black raspberries, cherries, with a spicy, peppery note. This medium-plus-bodied red from Swartland South Africa shows off the potential of the wine-making region. This basically drinks like a Cotes du Rhone but with that South African earthy flare. Light on tannins, big on flavor.
