A blend of 72% Cabernet Sauvignon and 28% Shiraz, the 2008 Oro has a fresh, vibrant nose not dissimilar to a McClaren Vale with ebullient, mint-scented glossy black fruits. The palate is full-bodied and very rich with an almost honeyed texture. Moderately tannic, very forward and opulent with a ravishing, polished finish, this is a very modern, svelte Cabernet/Shiraz that is well crafted by winemaker Mary-Lou Nash. Sure, it is a tad on the alcoholic side, but it is deftly crafted, keenly priced and should age well. Drink 2012-2018. Black Pearl is a boutique winery based in Paarl. Their first vintage was in 2001, sourced from 4.5-hectares of Shiraz and 3-hectares of Cabernet Sauvignon that are all dry farmed.Importer: Southern Starz, Huntington Beach, CA; tel.
