Tasting notes
Wow! One is normally used to uncorking garagiste wine with a clothespin handy - for who knows what offensive smells and underdeveloped tastes might lie inside the bottle? That said, when it comes to wine, the allure of a good find often proves too tempting, and one often finds onself returning once more to the high-stakes lottery that is homemade fermented grape juice.
The Usana Cab is a winner in this lottery - a R60 bottle that drinks like an R80 one. It’s full-bodied, has hints of aniseed, and has been made with elegant drinking tonight in mind. (It’s not meant for a long, cool exile in the cellar.) Goes great with spicy food - it’s the perfect bottle to take to a fancy Asian or Indian restaurant, the more so because it’s guaranteed not to be on the winelist!
