4 Stars 2022 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Unpretentious, satisfying merlot-led 4-way Bordeaux blend. 20 (86 pts) has delightful mulberry fruit, hints of leafy herbs. Mix of barrel & stave oaking doesn’t intrude.

4 ½ Stars 2022 Platter’s South African Wine Guide

Was ‘Red’. 20 (93 pts) ripe black berry & cherry fruit, rich dark chocolate & liquorice from year in oak. Always a big wine (14.5% alcohol) but ‘people friendly’ & consistent top seller at Disney World. From Paarl & Swartland grapes, includes dash shiraz.
