Ernie Els Major Series Cabernet Sauvignon 2017

Famous South African golfer Ernie Els retains a share in this winery but it is now predominantly German-owned, with 100% Cabernet Sauvignon set to be a particular focus. This vintage (8% Petit Verdot) combines fruit power with detail. Aromatics of blue and black fruit, some attractive herbal character plus oak spice on a plush and smooth-textured palate. Drinking window: 2020-2027. Score – 95. (Christian Eedes, decanter.com, June 4, 2021)
