Note di degustazione
57% Cinsault, 26% Grenache, 17% Syrah. Grapes from a number of high-elevation and maritime vineyards around the Western Cape. Minimal intervention in the cellar; new and old large-format French oak. Natural cork. Tasted blind. Pale crimson. Sweet, light and rather reduced on the nose. Simple. I think I would have preferred it in the first flush of youth. Pinched end. (JR)

The 2015 Follow The Line has a fleshy, ripe and very Mediterranean bouquet, almost Tuscan in style with red cherries, crushed strawberry and a touch of vanilla. Later, there are notes of terracotta that lend more complexity. The palate is medium-bodied with fleshy, ripe tannins. Good substance, a little savory in style, allspice and white pepper towards the finish that has a subtle gamey quality. Lovely! Tasted blind at the 10-Year-On horizontal in London.
Bright, moderately saturated red. Subtle perfume of raspberry, red cherry and herbs. Lovely light touch and inner-mouth perfume to its red cherry, tart red berry and spice flavors. Boasts lovely lift and finishing grip but this is not at all a fleshy style. Still, it shows a bit more intensity and length than the Girl Next Door Syrah, as well as a saline complexity.
The 2015 Follow The Line is 58% Cinsault with Grenache and Syrah, including around 30% whole cluster fruit, mostly picked earlier. It has a reticent bouquet at first, gradually unfurling with blackberry leaf, cranberry and black pepper aromas, developing subtle garrigue scents with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with supple red berry fruit, caressing in the mouth, not powerful but very well balanced with peppercorns and undergrowth towards the finish.
