Warming spices and earthy aromas with black cherries that all also come through on the palate. Light body while being rich in flavors. Oh my dear Willamette Valley ❤️ — 9 months ago

Really like this. It has a lot of corn so has a slight corn sweetness to it. Hints of caramel. Adding a dash of water brings out pepper and spice — 5 years ago

On the nose, hit croissant, toffee, coffee, marzipan, and cherry. The palette is peach, date, burnt sugar, butter, and saline peat. The finish is marzipan and unsweetened cocoa powder with candied dried fruit. — 5 years ago

I still believe this bottle needs more air and can get better with time but maybe that is hopeful thinking? It’s good just not amazing and I feel like I have some EC barrel strength that I thought was amazing. Listening to John Williams - too many sharks — a year ago

Yup the second bottle definitely held up. I didn’t think I was the biggest fan of the Destiny Ridge Syrah, but Jeff has convinced me with this wine. There’s a reason this is the “Best Barrel.” Yum. — 5 years ago

Striking fresh ripe black currant at the start, with dryer tobacco notes from the glass, cranberry from the close up and an amazing evolution — 7 years ago

@Delectable Wine this is the 2013 Silverthorn Wines Cape Winemakers Guild Big Dog IV Méthode Cap Classique.

Our first time every at the Cape Winemakers Guild Auction and we will make sure to come back! (Tasting was on 9/28/18).

Second wine at the Friday Auction Tasting for the Cape Winemakers Guild and last sparkling wine. This is a sparkling wine (Methode Cap Classique) made by John Loubser from the Western Cape. Made up of 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay as well as aged on the lees for 51 months before 9 more months in bottle and prior to disgorgement. Only 73 cases produced and only 42 being auctioned in 2018.

Light greenish yellow in appearance with tiny bubbles. Mute on the nose with a bit of lemon, light sweet spices, kiwi and limestone. Moderate acidity (7/10) and rich palate. Creamy mouthfeel with layers of spices, green apples, citrus fruits, white flowers and mouth watering minerality. Long and lingering finish.

$$ - Tasted at the Cape Winemakers Auction. Average bid at auction was R4,410.00 ($51.94 a bottle) a case. Highest bid was R6,200.00 ($73.02 a bottle) and lowest bid was R3,000.00 ($35.33 a bottle).
