Critics Ratings

'2010 again shows this to be one of the Cape's best merlots, delicious enough in youth but will harmonise & gain complexity over 5 or more years. Subtly powerful, with strong tannins & fresh acidity big but balanced, the all-new oak well constrained by fruit.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 4.5*

'Gyles Webb is adept with a number of different varieties, but his Merlots stand out, partly because they have less competition in the Cape. This isn't short of oak, but the toasty flavours are underpinned by freshness, mint and a backbone of tannin, all enveloped in sweet, plushy-textured fruit. Drink 2015-20.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2013, 93/100
