2021 Cederberg “Five Generations” Cabernet Sauvignon comes from the rugged heights of the Western Cape, where mountain air and distance from the ocean give Cabernet a cooler, more composed personality. The nose leans classic but fresh—blackcurrant, dark cherry, a hint of cedar and dried herbs—while the palate stays focused and poised, with fine-grained tannins and a firm but polished structure that never feels heavy-handed. This is Cabernet with a sense of place and lineage, built for the table rather than the trophy shelf. It shines alongside grilled steak, lamb, or slow-cooked dishes, but it’s just as rewarding on its own when you want something steady and confident in the glass. Grounded, balanced, and quietly expressive-a wine that doesn’t rush, and doesn’t need to.
