The 2010 Game Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is aged half in French and American oak and half using oak staves. It has a muffled nose of black cherry, iodine and peppermint with cassis emerging with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with bright redcurrant and red cherry fruit on the entry. There is not much depth here, but it is fresh and balanced with crisp cranberry leaf on the pert finish. Drink now-2016. Importer: Maritime Wine Trading Collective, San Francisco, CA.
