Kanonkop Kadette Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

Kanonkop Kadette Cabernet Sauvignon 2022 pours a deep, concentrated ruby-red color with a vibrant crimson rim in the glass. The nose opens with an inviting bouquet of dark plum, blackcurrant, ripe berries, and a subtle touch of clove and olive. On the palate, this full-bodied South African Cabernet Sauvignon shows excellent balance and juicy concentration. A dense core of black orchard fruits is beautifully framed by fine-grained, supple tannins and well-integrated oak influence from 12 months of maturation, driving into a clean, dry, and savory finish.

Food Pairing: Pairs wonderfully with slow-roasted lamb shanks, grilled beef burgers, chicken tagine, or matured hard cheeses.

90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

The Kanonkop 2022 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Kadette offers an honest and characterful expression of the grape with dark fruit, blackberry and mild spice. Like the other red wines in the Kadette series of value wines, it matures in oak for 12 months. This mid-weight red shows the versatility to pair with barbecued meats or a pasta with wild game sauce.
