About this Item
This impressive Cabernet Sauvignon blends 'Old World' elegance with the full-bodied, fruit-driven character typical of wines from an area known as the golden Triangle. Named for its superior terroir, the Golden Triangle lies at the heart of Stellenbosch's reputation for producing South Africa's defining Cabernet Sauvignons. Classic Alto elegance, in perfect drinking condition out of the large formats.
The benchmark 2009 competes with 2015 as the best Cabernets produced by Alto remaining true to their classic styling. Bottled in magnum, the 2009 will age well for another decade or more.
