Critics Ratings

‘Best barrels for the flagship. Splendid 2017, vibrant cherry fruit paves way for spice & savoury nuances from 11 months in 300L barrels, 14% new. Bright natural acidity combined with soft & fine tannins interwoven with deep minerality.’ - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2020, 4.5* (94/100)

‘Pale ruby. Restrained nose of blueberry and flint, with a touch of cinnamon – closed and holding back. Some orange peel, spice, stones and red cherry, with quite firm, fine tannins that need time to reach maturity.’ – Tim Jackson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5+/20 (Dec 2019)

‘The 2017 Seven Flags Pinot Noir expresses with darker red fruit with an oak and mineral edge. The palate is softly tannic with a grippy core that expresses dusty strawberries and rhubarb that will unfurl over the next decade. The finish is structured, grippy and shows a well-crafted complexity that delivers pleasure. Give it some time in the cellar before you open the bottle.’ – Anthony Mueller, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Oct 2019)

‘Arguably the most Burgundian of Cape Pinot Noirs, guided by the gentle hand of consultant Martin Prieur, this scented, refined red comes from three sites and is made with clones 113, 115 and 777. Savoury red fruit, bright acidity, filigree tannins and deftly integrated wood. 2020-28’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 95/100
