Wine Description
A red wine created to celebrate the distinct palates of Ernie Els (Bordeaux style) and Jean Engelbrecht (Shiraz-based style) to crown their new venture. The 2003 Engelbrecht Els was first released at the opening of the Ernie Els Winery on December 15, 2004.
This complex nose opens with rich
Cedar and Cherry aromas. Subtle white pepper spice combines well with a delicate floral and
Toffee component. This wine has an extremely elegant tannin structure with robust mid-palate intensity. This wine also shows juicy characteristics brought about by the Shiraz component and a powerful finish.
Blend: 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Shiraz, 6% Cabernet Franc, 6% Petite Verdot, 4% Merlot
"Racy, with lots of red and black currant fruit layered with tobacco, mineral and hints of black licorice. Nice fine-grained finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Petite Verdot, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Malbec. Drink now through 2010. 200 cases imported."- Wine Spectator
