Critics Ratings
'No other way to describe 2010 other than dead sexy. Great aromas of red & black cherry, a floral note, banana loaf. Medium bodied, with purity, freshness and fine-grained tannins. Worthy successor to showstopping 2009, many years from optimal drinking.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2013, 5*
'Kanonkop Pinotages continue to express the best of this controversial South African grape, while avoiding its drawbacks. Youthful, vibrant, primary fruit of black cherry and plums, with violets wafting from the glass. Succulent, yet structured, with subtle oak and fine-boned acidity.' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2013, 94 Points
