Still fresh, well structured and balanced. Has more than a few years left. I wish I had another — 6 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 "wine that got me into wine." Sixteen years later this one still tastes great. Aging really well it's like a friend you haven't seen in awhile. — 9 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. — 9 years ago

Ernie, the genie, prepared the entire 5+ course meal for 18 guests and convinced all of us that South African Pinot can taste like premium Burgundy! — 13 years ago

90/10 Sonoma/Napa. 70/30 Merlot/Cab. Nice complexity- tart black fruit, camphor, cassis, varnish, coffee, and camphor. Long bitter finish. First Pride Reserve wine- different and interesting. — 8 years ago

Never been a big fan, wish I was. But they do a nice Cab Franc. OK, I have learned - let breath, even decant, for 2-3 hrs. The longer the better. It really was burn at first, but give it some time, and it really popped. Smooth, dark berries, touch of funk, a little earth, iron, leather - all the nice things you expect from a Cab. Next time I'll know better, and open sooner. — 9 years ago

This is the best South African wine I've had. (Out of maybe 10 in my 18 yrs as a wine lover.) Very enjoyable. The alcohol is excessive on the nose but not in the mouth. — 11 years ago

Celebrating Bastille Day with the spring dinner of the Confrerie St Etienne of Alsace association. Wonderful menu and perfectly paired wines.

Wow. Leave it to the dessert wine to run away with Wine of the Night! Honeyed cashews, honeyed stone fruits, guava, pineapple, caramel and honeycomb. Like a lighter version of Dolce. Insanely good! On the hunt for some of this. Thought of you @Greg Ballington since it’s a South African wine! — 8 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

Rich and ripe, slightly oily texture, though lovely acidity. This is a great example of where the future of South African wine is headed — 10 years ago

Rich, sweet aromas of honey and dried apricots. Lush and bright on the palate. A viscous mouth feel with flavors of baked apples, apricots and honey balanced by bright acidity and a lingering finish. — 11 years ago
