A Cape Blend is South Africa's own style of red, built around Pinotage alongside Bordeaux varieties. Kanonkop, the Stellenbosch estate that helped make Pinotage's reputation, uses it with Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Kadette. Ripe plum, dark berries, and a smoky, savory note, with medium-plus body and firm tannins. Kanonkop Kadette. Open it about 30 minutes before serving. Great with braai, grilled sausages, or a pepper-crusted steak.
