Stellenrust Timeless 2014

Stellenrust Timeless 2014 a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot & Cabernet Franc

Tasting Notes

Aug 2018 - The 2014 Stellenrust Timeless is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, respectively. This has a nose that is classic Old World slant with notes of a leafy, earth, singed tobacco and cedar spice component with a light menthol lift over red currant and dark red plum whiffs on the nose. The palate is medium fuller, and although the tannins have some firmness, the mid palate has a sleek, almost suppleness to it, with the spice and earth tones of the nose playing out with the red plum and currant flavors. Finishing long with some powdery tannins on the backend, this is just now starting to open up and should show well over the next 4-5 years.

Winemaker Notes

This wine offers a menthol fresh nose with the palate enriched with dark berries, cassis, some mint chocolate and also a lingering finish with well balanced tannins concentrating on the mid-palate.
