Ernie Els Proprietors Blend 2017 ($44.00 per bottle)

Baking spices, dark chocolate and black, vibrant fruits hint at the power to follow. Complex aromas of pure cassis, meat and oak spice lead to a well-integrated fruit centre with dense, but finely-tuned tannins. This is a wonderful blend where the components are expressive but well-balanced and the whole is so much more than the parts. Powerful, explosive, medium to full-bodied with the precision of 2017 shining through to a long-defined finish.
