Expert Reviews

92 Points | International Wine Cellar , September 2010

Deep ruby-red. Enticing, multifaceted nose offers black raspberry, plum, fresh herbs, mocha and smoky tobacco, with a complicating whiff of game; aeration brought higher-pitched red fruits, spices and flowers. Lush on entry, then ripe but quite firm in the middle, with no easy sweetness to the deep berry, mineral and smoke flavors; black fruit at the start but more red on the back. Well-integrated acidity and serious but suave tannins give this wine a powerful structure for aging. Finishes subtle and quite long.

I am not drinking the CWG, but what I am drinking at least matches Steve's 92 point score. This is really good wine. This has been open for about an hour and improved consistently. The nose hits with smoky eucaplyptus, some coffee/espresso, and a background of creamy cassis. The palate is full and beautifully balanced, sweet red fruit but not at all fat or fatiguing with refreshing acidity at the end that makes me want another sip. Long. A wee hole in the mid-palate holds this back from greatness, but its really awfully good. Very Bordeaux in a 2000 or 2005 sort of way. I'm buyin' it.

About South Africa

South Africa has produced wines in the area of Cape Town since the 17th century, but the country's significant place in the U.S. market is far more recent. During the era of apartheid, trade sanctions imposed on imports from South Africa kept these wines out of the U.S. and many other markets, with the effect that local South African winemakers had little incentive to produce wines that could compete in a global setting...
