Gravity, South Africa

Wine: Gravity
Producer: Radford Dale
Region: Stellenbosch
Country: South Africa
Colour: Red
Year: 2009
Grape: Blend
Supplier: Wine Warehouse                                                                  
Restaurant: A
Price (VND): 1.500.000 VND
Points: 91/100
Pairs well with: Game, roasts, grills, mature cheeses.
Notes:
This wine is a good example of new word wines which can be as good, if not better as the old world icons.

Although not on the cheap side, it is worth its value, as it is a fantastic wine to drink.
From the moment you smell this wine, you can start enjoying its complexity: spices, powder, tobacco, leather and even a hint of vanilla.

On the palate is great, full bodied and fantastic length, very complex, delicate while delivering a lot of fruit and structure.

Game, roasts, grills, mature cheeses.
