The Glenelly 2018 Stellenbosch Estate Reserve is a hearty blend of 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 14% Syrah, 11% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot. The years 2015 to 2018 saw terrible drought, and this wine is part of that dramatic phenomenon. This was not the hottest of the vintages in that window, 2016 was much hotter and drier, but 2018 results in opulent, rich and very plush fruit nonetheless. You feel that textural power, and the wine reveals plenty of dark fruit flavors and savory spice. New oak reaches 30% to 40% in this wine. The Reserve shows an immediate character and opens quickly to a broad mid-palate. I suggest a near or medium-term drinking window for this bottle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c!-- HIGHLIGHTS --\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 20px; margin-bottom: 15px;\"\u003eHighlights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"color: #444444; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.7; margin-bottom: 30px; padding-left: 20px;\"\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlend:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Cabernet Franc, 14% Syrah, 11% Merlot, 9% Petit Verdot sourced from the Simonsberg slopes of Stellenbosch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli style=\"margin-bottom: 8px;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTerroir \u0026amp; Vintage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Harvested during the final year of the dramatic 2015-2018 Cape drought.
