Tasting Notes

Tim Atkin's Rating: 94 points

Over 2 decades of producing this Estate wine, the wine is ever increasing in quality and becoming more consistent in expressing the terroir of the Helderberg Mountains. Wine shows off pure fruit and earthy notes complimented by a classical pencil lead aromas.  Rich and concentrated, with tightly-packed cassis, black cherries and plums as the core, this wine has a firm, linear tannin and acidity structure that only a prime Cabernet backbone can give.
