Man Vintners, Coastal Region (South Africa) Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

All of the current releases from Man Vintners are quite solid, but the Cabernet is the class of the lineup, with medium-bodied fruit recalling blackberries and black cherries and a few nice nuances around the edges.  Soft enough to sip on its own but sufficiently substantial for pairing with moderately robust meat dishes, this is a very strong value for the money.
