Premier Stellenbosch producer, Jordan Wine Estate, has a second label, Chameleon, which seriously over-

Jordan Chameleon Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2008

delivers on price.

The Chameleon Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot 2008 has a bold nose with layers of leather, dark ripe fruit , cassis, mint and violet aromas. The tannins are soft and there is a long finish which leaves some mint flavours on the palate.

Slow cooked lamb will pair well with this Bordeaux blend especially if rosemary is used with the meat.

Available at Pick and Pay Constantia for R59.95 per 750 ml bottle or from cybercellar.com for R63.50.

I rate this wine 17/20 which translates to a superior wine.
