Critics Ratings
'2009 edition of local classic brighter, seemingly riper than 2008 (4 stars), with fragrant cherry, strawberry notes. Silken, supple and succulent; delicate smokiness (45% new oak) evident on finish.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2011, 4.5*
'Lovely black tea, signed apple wood and toasty wood spice notes lead the way, followed by racy black cherry, red currant and blackberry fruit, with a long, mineral-driven finish. This has range and depth, yet stays silky and very elegant.' - James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Apr 2012)
