    2019 Taaibosch Crescendo Red Blend (Stellenbosch, SA) 6R

    6R

    Warmer growing regions, fully ripened grapes, extended barrel-aging add to the wine’s body

    2019 Taaibosch Crescendo Red Blend (Stellenbosch, SA) 6R

    Taaibosch and winemaker Schalk Willem Joubert have gained critical attention for the revitalization of their fabled Crescendo Cape Bordreaux! This Cabernet Franc dominent red blend is showing signs that a few years aging on this bottle will be highly rewarded. This is the 3rd year running of the Crescendo and they have yet to disappoint. Delicious and complex!

    About The Varietal

    Bordeaux Blend

    A red Bordeaux blend primarily consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc, supplemented by smaller amounts of Malbec and Petit Verdot, with Carménère occasionally included. While the term naturally applies to all red wines originating from Bordeaux, it is also suitable for wines produced beyond the region, such as those from California, Washington, Argentina, and other locations.
