Ernie Els, Signature Red, 2016
- Red Still
- Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Ernie Els Signature Red is an intense and powerful Bordeaux-style blend from Stellenbosch. Composed predominately of Cabernet Sauvignon, this dark, silky wine has a candied orange aroma with undertones of cardamom, clove, and black olives.
The palate is full of graphite, cassis, and rich tannins.
What the critics say:
"The 2016 Signature blend is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by 25% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, 5% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec. This maturing yet still vibrant red blend boasts a nose of ripe fruit and generous and succulent aromas of dusty dark red berries and fresh baking spices. Full-bodied and balanced, the palate is firm, structured and food-friendly, concluding with a spicy and lingering tannic edge. This red blend aged 20 months in 70% new French oak barrels. Only 13,723 bottles were made. Drink date: 2023-2028"
