2017 Kanonkop Pinotage Black Label

2017 Kanonkop Pinotage Black Label The aromatics suggest dark fruit and baking spices, dried herbs and vanilla in this 2017. On the palate we note black cherry, currant and a dusty hint of cinnamon and nutmeg. Vanilla bean and mocha fulfill the mid-palate, leading to a finish with bright acidity and complex red and dark fruits.

Sonoma

While Sonoma County is acclaimed—and rightfully so—for its Chardonnays, Pinot Noirs, and Zinfandels, it also produces exceptional Cabernet Sauvignon. Of the region’s 18 American Viticultural Areas, only a handful produce top-notch Cabernet Sauvignon. These appellations include Alexander Valley, Knights Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignons made in these appellations can offer a complex array of aromas and flavors. Fruit notes such as blackberry, blackcurrant, cassis, black cherry and raspberry often are accompanied by hints of graphite, dusty earth, cigar box, toast and vanilla. The varietal has a rich history in Sonoma, and some of these Cabernet Sauvignons and Cabernet-based blends rival the best from Napa Valley.
