2018 Crescendo, Taaibosch, Stellenbosch

The 2018 Crescendo is a beautiful Cabernet Franc-led blend from Stellenbosch. Notes of red berries, wild flowers, and a hint of graphite swirl from the glass, while the palate is impeccably structured and fresh, with amazing lift and purity on the finish. An outstanding first release, coming in at 13.5% abv, and at an outstanding price, this is worth stocking up on.
