About this Item

2015 Blue Lady Cabernet Sauvignon
3 (1 x 3) 750ml

Back in 1984, the single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon block was called "La Femme Bleu". At the time, it felt like a French name worked as a tribute to the region of Bordeaux. Of course, we now know that the coolest thing about this iconic wine is that it's 100% African, and demonstrates to the world the true power of Stellenbosch terroir.

Critics Ratings

'Intriguing, multi-layered nose of violet, crème de cassis, blueberry and black cherry. Palate has impressive focus, with pristine fruit and wonderful textural harmony; class in a bottle! 2019-2027' - Decanter, 93/100 (Aug 2018)

'Decadent black cherry and boysenberry set the stage for a ripe and fruity pour, with supporting notes of licorice root, cedar and sweet wood spice. The plush texture is grounded in more rich berry fruitiness, with tones of cherry pit and cocoa lingering on the close.' - Lauren Buzzeo, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100

'Bright crimson. Much subtler nose than most even if the palate is more obviously pure cassis. Clean and fresh. 2022-2032' - Jancis Robinson, jancisrobinson.com, 16.5/20 (May 2020)
