Erika O Cabernet Sauvignon 2018, South Africa

This is a wine that truly lives up to its reputation as an excellent Cabernet. The aroma is filled with notes of intense red and black fruit, freshly plowed earth and cedar, which merge with spices from the oak. The taste is powerful and deep, with ripe tannins and a pleasant finish. The wine is rich and full-bodied, yet well-balanced with a clear and focused flavor profile.

PLATTER: 4.5 STARS / TIM ATKIN: 94 POINTS / 93 POINTS

Erika Obermeyer has quickly made a name for herself with her expertise and passion. Just three years after her debut, she was named "Newcomer of the Year" and in 2020 she achieved top marks in Platter's Wine Guide with the year's best blend from South Africa.

Erika's approach is straightforward: to create wines that are true to their origins, with a focus on quality and honesty. She carefully selects vineyards in the Western Cape, sourcing the grapes that best represent the region. Her wines are handcrafted in small batches, from the elegant Flabbergast, a pure Cinsault, to an impressive Cabernet Sauvignon that leaves a lasting impression.
