Metzer Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

‘Not plush like Napa’ is how Wade Metzer describes his blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah, made with grapes from the Steynsrust area of ocean-influenced Firgrove. Fresh, delicate and ethereal, it would be an easy wine to underestimate, with raspberry and blackcurrant leaf flavours and scented 30% new oak. Drink date: 2023-2030. Score – 93.
