Dumb to start with but as it list it’s chill it opened up to become a soft peach, textural, tongue wrapping delight. — 8 years ago

This is now my fourth South African wine (second from @Greg Ballington ) and this is definitely the best red that I've had. Gave it about 45-mins of air time and it improved through an hour and a half. Red in the glass, which I'm finding common for South African cabs. Not extremely fruit dominant, but not dominant in any other note either. A balance of cherries, cranberries, tobacco and graphite/lead on the nose. Good weight to it on the palate. Cedar and rhubarb accentuate the finish. A very enjoyable cab blend and I expect it to be firing on all cylinders the second day. Probably at its best in 7 years or so. Many thanks again for introducing this to me, Greg! My buddy @Cody Cotten , who visited South Africa a while back, really loved this as did I! — 9 years ago

South African blend of mostly Rhône grapes. Similar nose to fuller Southern Rhône blend, perhaps Vacqueyras. Notes of blackberry, violet, black pepper, cocoa nibs. Dry, medium to full body on the palate. — 9 years ago

Bloody good. It had to be as it cost the price of a small duchy.
I have a whole bottle of this greatness with me. Not a good idea.
Taste is sort of dry, not sweet and not bitter...all in equal mix. Taste of lots of stuff. It's been through different cask apparently. Bourbon, Madeira, Port...
Lovely aroma. Doesn't come to hit you right back. — 9 years ago

In appearance, I would have called this Napa as it had a deep purple rim but once you smelled it, it was South African through and through. Though I’ve only had a limited experience with SA wines, I’ve normally gotten a unique smell, reminiscent of smoked rubber. A lot of potpourri to this too. Black fruits (blackberries, cassis) with an herbal and tannic/slightly chalky finish. Well made. — 7 years ago

The '15 vintage of this wine has taken South African Chardonnay to a whole other level. This is absolutely stunning, and I can't even imagine how gorgeous it will be in 2 years. — 10 years ago

Mike Grgich, the “King of Chardonnay” farms w/o pesticides and certified organic. Aged 10 months and did not undergo malolactic fermentation. The color is a pale golden yellow with aromas of stone, tropical fruit and citrus. The palate shows off apple, melon and peach flavors, with some orange rind and nutty notes coming through. The finish was rich and creamy with some spicy mineral and perfumed tones lingering to a complex ending. Not your typical California Chardonnay, Grgich delivers like a few can! — 10 years ago
