Ernie Els6x Signature Red 2018

About

With auspicious beginnings as our maiden vintage in 2000, all Signature grapes are exclusively grown on the property for this iconic Bordeaux-style blend and benefit from the soil-rich, north-facing Helderberg slopes worthy of the prominent Stellenbosch appellation. Ample structure and depth allow this wine to age effortlessly for a decade or more.

• Cedar, a brush of ink against white paper, monastic and deep.
• Spiced black fruit plumbs these depths, shading in from juniper and blackcurrant to cherry and plum.
• Kaleidoscopic, in a shadow-sense, a dark fruit density unfurls in the complexity of flavors.
• Twirls of roasted fennel in concert with cassis and plummy merlot ride a fresh wave of mineral purity, balancing the rich and full-bodied nature.
• All this presence is folded in, again and again, by the smoothest of tannins; satin shaped by time.
• Tasting Notes: Blackcurrant, dark cherry, plum, cigar box, dark chocolate, spice
