Critics Ratings
‘One of the leading Cape blends, always the full house of Bordeaux red grapes (cabernet, malbec, merlot, cabernet franc, petite verdot), their proportions varying with the vintage; 02 tight, restrained, herbal nose gives way to more expressive, well-crafted palate. Chewy but ripe, quite approachable. Mainly French oak, 50% new.’ – Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2005, 4.5*
