Last, it's rare for me to find a Cape red I like, but here's one: Kanonkop Paul Sauer 2005 majors on cabernet sauvignon with some merlot and cabernet franc. It has might but also hinterland and charm. It's certainly not low in alcohol, but it begs you to stop what you're doing, sit down in a leather armchair, inhale and, slowly, sip one glass rather than bolt two. I don't know him, but I like to think Clive Coates would approve.
