Carmen Stevens Angels Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2019
About the wine
Rich, refined South African Cab layered with endlessly elegant fruit flavor
- This rich, mouth-filling South African Cab is flush with dark fruit flavors, luscious smoothness and an extra dash of barrel-aged decadence.
- Thanks to Angels, Carmen could nab hand-picked Cabernet from three highly sought-after vineyards in the Paarl region of South Africa to bring you this world-class red with the most refined flavors possible.
- To bring out this robust red's fullest flavors, Carmen goes for a hearty steak rubbed with a special mix of mustard and wasabi, fried to golden brown perfection and cut into thin, juicy slices. Add a leafy green salad on the side and you're all set.
Best before
This Cabernet Sauvignon has all the attributes for aging; great depth of flavor, rich palate, soft ripe tannins and good refreshing acidity with a mid-palate that just makes the wine so much more. All these attributes indicate that this wine can only get better with age. With age, all the primary fruits will become more complex.
Serving advice
Allow this wine to breathe. I suggest 30 minutes standing time after opening and the you'll be pleasantly surprised by what this wine gives on the nose and palate.
Food match
Enjoy with a good piece of quality meat. I got a beautiful piece of rump steak- rubbed it with a mixture of mustard and wasabi, some good quality olive oil and sea salt. Then fried it in a hot pan until it was brown on both sides - rested for 5-10 minutes - and cut it into thin slices and served it with a healthy green salad -- yummy!
