Critics Ratings

'Single-vineyard bottling. Lusciously ripe 2010 more oaky in youth than other Reserve, & a little more intense, muscular, burly & less prettily charming. Power (15+% alcohol) & firm structure well balanced by fruit. Impressive now, should mature well.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide, 4.5* (2014)

'(15% alcohol; 100% cabernet sauvignon): Bright, medium ruby-red. Pungent dark cherry, woodsmoke and fynbos aromas and flavors are accented by a violet high note. Dense and tactile but also juicy and suave, with lovely spicy lift contributing to the wine's very firm impression. This seamless, youthful cabernet finishes with a broad, fine dusting of tannins and very good length. Winemaker: Etienne le Riche.' - Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, 90/100 (Sep 2013)
