Critics Ratings

'Cabernet Sauvignon replaces Merlot in 2006 as the principal variety, providing greater authority and longevity. Dollops of Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Serious blackcurrant and cedar aromas with concentrated flavours lead to a firm savoury finish. 43% new French oak. Wine of Origin Paarl.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2009, 4.5*

'Polished and pure, with a dusting of cocoa powder giving way to alluring black tea, plum, boysenberry, ganache and incense notes, all mingling through the velvety, lengthy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2012' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Jun 2010)

'The regal Series M blend starts with aromas of dark juicy plum and black currant, coffee and chocolate, rolling into an array of bright, spicy black fruit, tobacco and cedar. Rich and savory on the palate but enlivened by good minerality, it's a classic South African red with world-class balance.' - Susan Kostrzewa, Wine Enthusiast, 90/100 (Aug 2010)
