The 2012 Obikwa Cabernet Sauvignon has appealing notes of yogurty cherry, plum and light wood. It is a medium bodied, dry, fruity wine; with good acidity, dusty tannins (decant for longer than 30 min) and a medium, smooth (once opened) finish. This is a food friendly wine that also does well on its own; drink now – 2015/16. My impression: NICE, 87 pts – great value for $9.45. Tasted Dec/13.
