Beaumont 2003 Ariane Red (Walker Bay)
A Bordeaux blend, named after winemaker Sebastian Beaumont's sister, with a dominance of Merlot, this wine has vivid, fresh fruits. Coming from cooler Walker Bay, near the ocean, gives it a lift and vibrancy, hinting at juicy fruit flavors as that ride over the dry tannic structure, and leave clean acidity as an aftertaste.
