The 2009 Mountain Vineyard Serenity Western Cape is a blend of six undisclosed Mediterranean varieties raised in 36% new French oak for 18 months followed by 35 months in bottle. The nose is attractive well defined and yes, evoking distant scents of the Mediterranean sea – red plum, marmalade, Cyprus trees and wild heather. The palate is medium bodied with supple tannins and fine acidity. Salted licorice, star anise, dark plum and fig jam form the core of fruit with a linear finish that will surely mellow with a couple more years in bottle. Excellent. Drink now 2019. 91 oints.
