Critics Ratings

'The change of generation still needs time to bed in at this top Stellenbosch producer, but you can be sure that it will. For the time being, this is not quite as exciting as previous recent releases, yet is still a classy Cabernet, with classic blackcurrant and cedar wood notes and refreshing acidity. Drink: 2016-22.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2016, 92/100

'The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has a little more precision and "bite" than the 2012 - there is more intention exhibited by the aromatics with blackberry and iodine scents mixed with violet. The palate is harmonious on the entry with supple red and black fruit, quite saline in the mouth and with fine tannins on the finish that need another couple of years to fully absorb the oak. This is a well-made Cabernet Sauvignon.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Nov 2015)

'Still primary with aromas of red and black fruit, attractive herbal characters plus vanilla and spice. Full bodied but lovely composure - pure fruit, fresh acidity and fine tannins. Promises much in time.' - Christian Eedes, Decanter, 90/100.
