2019 ARINNA SPECIAL SIMBA EDITION TASTING NOTES:

A Merlot dominant blend from specially selected barrels. Estate grown Merlot (75%), Cabernet Sauvignon (15%), Cabernet Franc (5%) and Malbec (5%). The wines designated to the blend were vinified and aged in separate lots. Blended 12 months after harvest by selecting specific barrels by taste. After blending, the wine was returned back to barrels to allow the wine to integrate. Bottled after a total of 24 months barrel aging unfined and unfiltered.

An exceptional fragrance of plum, menthol and graphite. Dry, medium acidity, medium plus alcohol and plush tannins. The soft texture is followed with flavors of dark chocolate, cinnamon and bay leaf. There’s a lasting impression of fruit reduction that leaves you wanting another sip. Drink 2021-2027+.
