Paarl Mountains by Boland Cellars, Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 - Wine Review

We bought this wine last night from the local Co-op supermarket, and very nice it was too.

Paarl Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Many many moon ago during our first trip travelling around the World we visited South Africa, where among other things we enjoyed lots of South African wine.
This wine comes from the Paarl wine district which is North of Stellenbosch, and Stellenbosch is just one of the really lovely places we stayed during our travels, so it was pleasantly nostalgic for us to drink this wine.

Anyway, less rambling, more thoughts on this particular bottle of wine.
Paarl Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 was a very enjoyable wine indeed.
Mr.R and me thought it offered a great deal for the price, although I can't remember how much it was - haha!
It wouldn't have been expensive, because we don't usually spend over a tenner for a bottle of red, I think this wine may have cost about £6, but don't quote me on it.

Anyway, again, less rambling! More wine review.......
Paarl Mountains Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 was an excellent purchase from the Co-op. The wine poured a beautiful deep red colour in the glass, with aromas of black cherries and ripe juicy plums.
On the palate it was seriously rich and fruity with flavours of deliciously ripe dark fruits, spice, and hints of vanilla, with a pleasant amount of tannins and a decent long fruity finish.
This is definitely a wine we'd purchase again.

From the label -
For more than six decades Boland Cellars have been working in the Paarl region, time in which our winemakers have identified many different climatic zones. 
Paarl Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon takes its wonderful complexity from the blending of wines from each zone. 
The style is marked by a Mediterranean climate of warm summers and mild, wet winters. 
The influence of the nearby ocean, wind-protected river valleys and cool mountain slopes all contribute to the diversity of flavour. 
Aromas of blackcurrant fruit, herbs, and soft oak follow through to a well rounded palate. 
Enjoy with juicy red meats such as lamb, venison or beef or with strong cheeses such as goats cheese or mature cheddar.

We were enjoying this wine so much that I completely forgot to take a photo of it, and when I finally remembered the bottle was empty - and so were our glasses. Cheers! Hic! Hehe!
