94 pts Winemag.co.za 2024 Top 10 Cabernet Sauvignon Report Matured for 20 months in barrel, 35% new. Red and black berries, violets and pencil shavings on the nose. The palate is luxuriously styled with luscious fruit, bright acidity and fine tannins.4 ½ Stars 2025 John Platter’s South African Wine Guide Ticks all the cultivar boxes with fruitcake, dark chocolate & some herbaceous notes adding to the youthful restraint, from dry tannins (fruit & oak) in 22 (92 pts). Barrel matured 20 months, 40% new. More austere than previous, but firm structure & fruit depth to age.91 pts James Suckling Nov 2025 Manuka honey, currants and cherries on the nose of this juicy red. It’s medium- to full-bodied, youthful and approachable, with supple tannins. Drink now.91 pts Tim Atkin MW 2025 One of those wines that consistently over-delivers in the bottle, the Vineyard Selection uses grapes from the Helderberg and Stellenbosch Mountain. Less oaky than previous iterations, and all the better for it, it has appealing aromas of mint and coffee bean and a palate of cassis and blueberry supported by glossy tannins. 2026-31
