{"product_id":"keermont-red-blend-2008","title":"Keermont Red Blend 2008","description":"\u003cp\u003e\r\n\tKeermont Red Blend is made from 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 20% Syrah. The specially selected parcels of grapes from their best vineyards were gently and naturally vinified before spending 20 months in second fill French oak barrels. Bottling was carried out by hand without any fining or filtration.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\"The 2008 Keermont has dark berries, allspice and a touch of cedar on the crisp nose that offers elusive scents of brine and seaweed with aeration. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy red fruits on the supple entry, ripe sappy tannins and a structured, well-focused finish. It does not quite have the panache of the 2007 and lacks the same length, but it is patently handcrafted and blossoms with aeration. Drink now-2016. Keermont Vineyards is a bright star on the horizon. Owned by Mark and Monica Wraith, the first of their 27-hectares was planted only in 2005, located at 250-400m altitude in the Blaauwklippen Valley in the shadow of Guardian Peak. There is a very artisanal approach here, winemaker Alex Starey overseeing elegant wines that belie their intensity. I tasted the wines both blind and with Alex himself, before he rushed off with his surfboard.\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cb\u003eeRobertParker.com (Neil Martin, August 2011), 90pts\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Keermont Vineyards","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948720320559,"sku":"SA0EE245002BRL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/keermont-red-blend-2008","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
