Critics Ratings

‘Only medium depth of crimson. Very aromatic and nicely balanced. Not heavy at all; quite elegant. Minerals and transparent.’ – Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com, 16.5/20 (Feb 2020)

‘Large & handsome, 2015’s enticing aromas mingle dark fruit & savoury notes. Deep & dense; ripely smooth but form-giving tannins. 80% new oak integrated, proof of intensity of flavour - as is the length, & the unobtrusiveness of 14.8% alcohol. Like 2014 (4.5 stars, 93 pts), should develop well.’ - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 5* (95/100)

‘A scaled down version of the Laurence Graff Reserve (at a more approachable price), this superb estate Cabernet comes from the second oldest vineyard on the farm. Pure, focused and beautifully balanced, with pithy tannins, stylish oak and layers of ripe dark fruit. 2020-28’ - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2018, 94/100.

‘Well-built, with a gutsy edge to the mix of plum, blackberry and black currant paste flavors, enlivened by a brambly structure and framed by a roasted apple wood note. Vivid and energetic. Drink now through 2022.’ – James Molesworth, Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Oct 2018)

‘Lavish aromas of blackberry, cola and black plum. Elegant and fleshy yet quite weighty, but with pleasing harmony and a quality lick of oak. Should age gracefully.’ – Decanter.com, 92/100 (Aug 2018)
