2007 Mulderbosch The Faithful Hound

Stephen Tanzer
"90 pts ... (a blend of 62% cabernet sauvignon, 10% each malbec, petit verdot and merlot, and 8% cabernet franc): Dark red. Currant, blackberry and licorice aromas lifted by a leafy quality. Suave, silky and light on its feet, with redcurrant and menthol flavors nicely framed by harmonious acidity. Gentle and easy to drink now but has the energy to age. The savory finish features smooth tannins."

Winemaker's Notes
"Enticing aromas of blackcurrant, mulberry, coffee, and spice lead to intense flavors of ripe plum, blackberry, and licorice enhanced by signature Bordeaux notes of tobacco, forest floor and graphite. This supple Bordeaux blend was created by the legendary Mike Dobrovic as a tribute to Boes (�Bushy� in Afrikaans), the loyal dog who kept watch over Mulderbosch farm for nearly three years after his owner's death, waiting beneath an oak tree for the return of his beloved master."
