Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon 2009
Wine Enthusiast - Lauren Buzzeo - November 2011
87 Points Best Buy "This Cab has all of the classic notes one would expect: rich dark berry fruit, black plum skin, cigar tobacco and black currant leaf are all front and center. The tannins are surprisingly firm and tightly structured, but the nuances of milk chocolate sauce and graham cracker crumb add decadence to the finish."

Wine Enthusiast - Susan Kostrzewa - June 2009
87 points, Best Buy "This wine starts with a sexy nose—-dried herbs, plum, balsamic pepper—-and on the palate, marries fresh fruit and dry spice with an herbal spin. Balanced and approachable, and a good sip on its own."
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Stephen Tanzer - March 2009
87 points "Good bright red-ruby. Crushed cassis, plum, tobacco and nutty oak on the nose. Supple and silky but a bit reduced, with firm acidity framing the somewhat medicinal flavors of menthol, dark chocolate and herbs. More about soil than primary fruits, but there's good intensity here. Finishes with big, dusty tannins."

Wine Enthusiast - Susan Kostrzewa - March 2007
88 Points, Best Buy "This barrel-fermented Chardonnay has a lively nose of apricot and melon. It's zesty, but has a balanced weight and complexity of nut and toasted oak that gives it substance. Delicious and intriguing, it will pair well with oysters and smoked seafood."

Wine Enthusiast - Susan Kostrzewa - November 01, 2010
#55 of the Top 100 Best Buys 2010: "This Chenin starts with aromas of vanilla, spice and honey, followed by upfront flavors of peaches, honey and spice. Fun but elegant, with a balanced freshness that keeps it clean on the tongue. Pair with creamy cheeses, fruit."
Merlot

Wine Enthusiast - Susan Kostrzewa - June 2008
87 points "Meaty, savory aromas and mouthfilling berry and spice flavors give this big wine dimension and personality. Smooth tannins and good acid/fruit balance keep it varietally true, but needs an equal wine pairing--think roasted game or grilled meat."

The Washington Post - Michael Franz - July 28, 2004
"Classy and complex, but still generous, this is a fine example of a South African red with one foot in the Old World and one in the New. With fresh, medium-bodied berry fruit augmented by a lightly earthy streak, it could pass as easily for a good Lalande de Pomerol as for a California Merlot."
Pinotage
Pinotage 2006 Archived REVIEWS
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Stephen Tanzer - March 2009
87 points "Deep red. Aromas of mulberry, redcurrant, spices and smoky, cedary oak. Then juicy but a bit hard-edged, with good intensity but a slightly tart herbal/minty quality to the fruit. A rather old-school pinotage, finishing with substantial dusty tannins."
Sauvignon Blanc

The Wine Advocate - David Schildknecht - August 2009
85 points "...[T]heir 2008 Sauvignon Blanc – while simple in its aromas and flavors of passion fruit, honeydew melon, and a hint of grass – is amply mouth-filling, highly refreshing, and admirably clean, making it a good value at its price for drinking over the next 6 months."

Wine Enthusiast - M.M. - April 01, 2005
87 Points - 'Best Bu "Clean and well-defined with abundant green apple, herb grass and mineral notes. It's subtle, with a fine, high strung balance, becoming more impressive with time in the glass. A brisk finish closes this tasty, affordable example of the elevated confidence and performance so many Cape wineries now demonstrate with Sauvignon Blanc."
Shiraz
Shiraz 2009
erobertparker.com - Neal Martin - August 2011
88 Points "The 2009 Bergkelder Shiraz has a ripe, black plum, mint and pepper-tinged nose with fine definition and prudent use of oak. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, good acidity and once again, well-integrated oak. The finish is crisp and well delineated with fresh blackberry, plum and spice with a hint of game right on the finish. This is a commendable entry-level Shiraz."
Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon
Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
erobertparker.com - Neal Martin - August 2011
89 Points "The 2008 Unfiltered Cabernet Sauvignon has an attractive nose with dark berries, mint and a touch of cedar, all with nicely integrated oak. The medium-bodied palate has a lively, animated entry with vibrant dark cherry and wild strawberry fruit with a rather oaky, but well-balanced Medocian, mocha-tinged finish. This Cabernet is well crafted and brimming with vigour."

International Wine Cellar - Stephen Tanzer - March 2007
88 Points "Straw-yellow color. High-toned, expressive aromas of peach and honey, plus a whiff of coconutty oak. Sweet, suave and nicely concentrated, with a subtle vanillin oakiness to the tropical fruit, yellow peach and lemon drop flavors. Nicely silky wine that finishes with a firm edge and good grip."

The Wine Advocate - David Schildknecht - August 2008
88 points "...strikes an excellent balance between sweetness of fruit and integration of wood with the slightly herbacious notes inherent in Merlot. Ripe red cherry and tomato foliage aromas mingle in the nose, on the palate there is ample richness, supple tannins, with subtle dark chocolate, toasted nut, and bitter herbal nuances, and the considerable finish is satisfyingly juicy, with restrained hints of vanilla and toast."
Unfiltered Sauvignon Blanc
Unfiltered Sauvignon Blanc 2010
erobertparker.com - Neal Martin - August 2011
88 Points "Aged on its lees, it has an attractive nose with scents of fresh green apples, gooseberry and a hint of white tipped asparagus. The palate is well balanced with good acidity, bursting with crisp green fruits with a touch of bell pepper on the finish. This is a fine example of South African Sauvignon Blanc."

Wine Enthusiast - Susan Kostrzewa - March 01, 2010
87 Points "A fresh, green nose of grass, herbs and asparagus leads on this mouthfilling white. Flavors of citrus, tropical fruit and melon are punctuated by earthy spice and herbs. A lengthy aftertaste adds to the appeal. An interesting, distinctive Sauvignon Blanc."

The Wine Advocate - David Schildknecht - August 2009
87 points "Fleur du Cap's 2008 Sauvignon Blanc Unfiltered does a creditable job of incorporating passion fruit and bell pepper defining characteristics of its variety into a nevertheless satisfying whole, thanks to fennel, white pepper, and pungently herbal accents; a succulent, lush, mouth-coating, yet refreshing palate presence, and a clean, not inconsequential finish."
The Wine Advocate - David Schildknecht - August 2008
87 points "The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc Unfiltered offers scents of honeydew melon, celery, and just a hint of passion fruit. As juicy, generous, and 'cooling' in fruit character as its aromas suggest, this tank-rendered Sauvignon finishes with succulence and refreshment."
Unfiltered Sauvignon Blanc 2005 Archived REVIEWS
International Wine Cellar - Stephen Tanzer - March 2007
88 Points "Pale, bright yellow; slight spritz. Aromas of gooseberrry, lime and grass, with hints of toast, vanilla and tropical fruits. Rather rich and silky but with good limey lift and thrust and a light suggestion of asparagus. Essentially gently styled wine with good intensity and a refreshing note of bitterness on the finish."
