“Buckshot” is a colonial expression describing combined quartz and ironstone pebbles that riddle the soil
This classic Cabernet Sauvignon had a small addition of Merlot to fill out the mid-palate and is charactersied by vibrant varietal fruit and long firm tannins
with hints of ripe red fruits
and 20% of the total blend was fermented in old French oak barriques to give complexity and texture
A very attractive wine which will probably be at an attractive price for this quality

This layered wine promises to develop and open in the glass, with cellaring potential at ten years.
