More information on wine critics and ratings
Classic varietal character with typical aromas of blackcurrants, pencil shavings and freshly cut herbs. A well-rounded wine showing great accessibility with a juicy fruit core and fresh acidity. The tannins add a grainy texture, and the wine lingers on the finish with beautiful flavours of blue berries and subtle oak spice.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 90 Points (2018)
Enticing notes of cigar spice, baked plum and cassis form the nose of this wine, with a touch of cedar for added interest. It’s medium in weight, with a velvety texture thanks to plush yet structuring tannins and just enough acidity for balance. The medium-length finish offers nice evolution, from jammy black plum and black cherry characteristics to lingering sweet spice.

Wine Spectator (WS) : 89 Points (2018)
Ripe and silky boysenberry and crème de cassis fruit flavors are enmeshed with a savory range of herbed olive, iron and charcoal notes in this well-balanced, medium- to full-bodied red. Plush tannins firm the spicy finish. Drink now through 2025. 100 cases imported.

Tim Atkin (TA) : 94 Points (2014)
Pure Cabernets are surprisingly hard to find in Stellenbosch, such is the growing fashion for Bordeaux blends, but this comparatively large volume example is scented, leafy and refined, with tobacco pouch and wild herb aromas and some of the cool elegance of the 2014 vintage. 2020-28. Alcohol: 14.6%

Robert Parker (RP) : 90 Points (2014)
The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich nose with a dark-fruited core of blackberries, dark plum, cassis and soft oak spices of cinnamon and nutmeg, with a focused and dusty minerality. Full-bodied on the palate, the wine is packed with juicy and rustic dark fruit and subtle, integrated oak tones that linger through the mid-palate. It's a quality-minded wine with precise, focused balance and a long finish.
