Winemaker Notes
The nose is filled with fresh juicy blackcurrant, black plums, and black cherries. Underlying hints of bouquet garni and subtle oak spice add further complexity. The tannins are finely textured, which adds a sturdy framework to support the plush fruit core. Concentrated flavors of blackberries and black fruit, combined with a juicy savory plush tomato note, create a classic Stellenbosch Cabernet with a lengthy, dry finish.
Critical Acclaim
WW 90Wilfred Wong of Wine.comCOMMENTARY: The 2020 Kanonkop Kadette Cabernet Sauvignon is soft yet nicely structured. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits aromas and flavors of black fruit, licorice, and savory spices. Serve it with grilled lamb chops. (Tasted: May 15, 2022, San Francisco, CA)WE 90Wine EnthusiastBlackberry leaf, cassis and plum skin all dance on the nose of this wine, with supporting accents of singed herbs, tobacco leaf and cedar. The medium-weight palate is like crushed velvet in texture, with ripe black-fruit flavors framed by plush yet structuring tannins and ample acidity that lends some lift along with the grip of the close. It’s well balanced and attractive now, though it should hold well through 2026.WS 90Wine Spectator
A dark, juicy, medium- to full-bodied red, with a streak of tarry smoke underscoring flavors of baked black cherry and black plum reduction, with notes of licorice and dried parsley and sage. Firm, chalky tannins emerge to trim the finish.
