Critics Ratings
'Layered & dense 12 Is packed with dark fruit, meaty savoury notes. Red with the most ageing potential, from deep muscle tone rather than aggression, tannins finely textured from deft oaking.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2017, 4.5*
'A dense, compact, concentrated Simonsberg Cabernet that soaks up its oak with ease. Needs a bit more time in bottle. Drink: 2017-21' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2016, 92/100
‘Cassis, a hint of mint plus chocolate and a little earthiness. The palate is full yet unshowy with fresh acidity and firm but fine tannins and the finish is long and savoury. A South African benchmark.’ - Christian Eedes, Decanter, 91/100 (Dec 2016)
