Doolhof 2007 Cape Roan Red (Western Cape)

Price $15

Spicy plum and black currant aromas lead this stylish red blend. On the palate, savory black fruit and pepper flavors are poised and elegant, and not too big. Structured tannins and a spicy finish give it muscle, but overall it’s a mannered wine with a touch of mischief at the end. — S.K. (6/1/2010)
