Wisdom Point

Cabernet Sauvignon

The Left Bank of Bordeaux is no longer the only source of superior Cabernet Sauvignon. Our Wisdom Point Cabernet will open your eyes to the New World of wine while maintaining classic Old World styling. This wine is full-bodied and elegant, with concentrated flavors that lean into oak, herbs, and stewed fruit.

Similar to the gravelly soils of Bordeaux's Left Bank, soils here contain a high concentration of river stones, making them quicker draining and less fertile than the surrounding area. The region's hot climate allows for optimum ripening while the Breede River provides irrigation. Maturation in French oak barrels softens tann ...

WINE REGION:

Outline of Robertson

Robertson

Like many South African wine regions, Robertson is in a beautiful location that matches its dramatic scenery with equally impressive wines. Known as the "valley of wine and roses," Robertson lies 100 miles east of Cape Town in the Breede River Valley region. Fed by the Breede and sheltered by the Langeberg Mountains to the north, Robertson Valley is prized for its limestone and gravel soils and temperate Mediterranean climate. From complex Shiraz, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvignon to dynamic Chardonnay, Chenin Blanc and Sauvignon Blanc—and even world-class sparkling wines—Robertson has it all.

TASTING NOTES:

Cherry

Dried Herbs

Vanilla

Our Cabernet is sincere and deliberate. Oak influence appears on the nose with aromas of cigar box and vanilla, while herbal notes of Herbes de Provence provide an aromatic lift. The wine’s weighty palate displays delectable tertiary flavors of stewed cherries and balsamic reduction.
