This powerful yet elegant Bordeaux blend is a true South African classic. It displays concentrated aromas and opulent flavors of cassis, blackberry and licorice, with core notes of leather andtealeaf. Hints of violets, underbrush and smoke carry through on the lingering silky finish.
Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 12% Merlot

The 2020 Paul Sauer is fermented in open-top fermenters at 29° Celsius and matured for 24 months in 100% new French Nevers barrels. The fragrant bouquet has blackberry, blueberry, inkwell and mint, generous and well-defined. You cannot tell that it is matured entirely in new wood. The palate is medium-bodied with pliant tannins and fine acidity. It's quite a "juicy" Paul Sauer that belies the structure behind it. There's fine grip and a touch of black pepper toward the finish. Plus, at 13.2° alcohol, it is a little sleeker than recent vintages. Excellent.

There's a tarry overtone layered with black cherry coulis, roasted plum and fig cake flavors. The rich profile is enlivened by orange peel acidity, with accents of raspberry paste, grilled herbs, cocoa powder and anise. Firm and chewy on the lingering finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2025 through 2030. 3,350 cases made, 158 cases imported.
