2010 THE BIG EASY Engelbrecht Els
Western Cape South Africa
"Ernie Els is known as the 'Big Easy' for his smooth flowing golf-swing and you can understand why they have decided to use this moniker for this more accessible cuvée from the Engelbrecht Els vineyard. A truly vibrant and scented blend of Cabernet, Shiraz, Mourvedre and Viognier. Like Ernie's swing this is velvety smooth yet has impressive power and persistent drive."
