Critics Ratings

‘Serious version, usually with some Cabernet Sauvignon - 12% in both ‘02 and standout ‘03, latter showing Pinot Noir parentage in earthy notes, forest floor character, hung game complexity. Like others, fermented in open tanks, then to basket press; 2 years oak.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
