Grangehurst Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2007 Bottle size: 750ml

The Grangehurst Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2007 offers a great opportunity to acquire mature wine directly from the cellar. We have limited magnums available, which are a real steal. This 2007 is now entering its drinking window and offers immense value. There is coy, backward fruit supported by earthy secondary notes as well as a lovely, savoury and dry backbone. Driven by Cabernet Sauvignon, we expect another 10 years from this wine, but why wait!

Blend: 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot

Tasting notes:
'Though ripe, 07 seems cool, with subtlety ruling over obviousness. Classic aromas of cassis, wet earth & chocolate-laced cherries. Intriguing palate benefits from aeration. Like 06, youthful despite maturity.' – Platter's Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*

'There’s no denying that this is quite an old-fashioned Cape blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and a splash of Petit Verdot, but it still ahs plenty of charm and interest. Tarry, leafy and sweet with figgy notes and balancing acidity. Drink 2018-20.' – Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 92/100

'Red and black fruit, mixed herbs plus some pleasing developed character. Medium bodied with bright acidity and fine tannins. Elegant and understated – should not be dispensed with too quickly.' – Christian Eedes, 3*

'Dark ruby colour; complex aromas & flavours of black and red berries, cassis, mocha and violets. A full-bodied barrel matured red wine with smooth, ripe tannins. Recommended drinking 8 to 15 years from vintage. Enjoy this wine with fine cuisine such as venison carpaccio, ovenroasted vegetable pasta, Moroccan chicken or roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.' – Winemaker

Alc: 14.3% | RS: 2.4 g/L | TA: 5.9 g/L | PH: 3.5

About Grangehurst:
Shortly after establishing Grangehurst in 1992, Jeremy Walker, the original Young Gun, produced the now-famous 1993 which was the first-ever Winemag 5-star wine. Never wavering from his traditional approach, Jeremy has established Grangehurst’s reputation for long-ageing, classically-styled wines.
