Critics Ratings
'Fresh sweet spearmint & dark chocolates combining to rather overwhelm black fruit, Well-managed oak & softish tannins make for very pleasant drinking.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
'A wine that does exactly what it says on the label, this varietal Cabernet (made mostly from the 163 clones) has been bottled alone since 2004. Rich, concentrated and eucalyptus perfumed, it's stylish and long with nuances of dried herbs and chocolate and a refreshing
finish. Drink: 2014-21' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2014, 94/100
'This is defined by a prominent minty note that weaves in and around the supple core of currant and blackberry paste flavors. Light espresso accents shade the finish, with a twinge of iron. Offers a fine-grained feel. Drink now through 2017.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 91/100 (Feb 2015)
