Ataraxia

Chardonnay 2014

Best South African Chardonnay that I've had to date. Golden color with brilliant reflections of light gold. An initial attack of light oak on the palate but finishes with great freshness from the balanced acidity. A medium bodied wine with notes of lemon and pineapple and a slight hint of nutmeg on the finish. — 9 years ago

Very good wine. Nice earthy taste w hints of cigar. Light on the first swallow and bold on the finish. Nice blend as the cab dominates. — 11 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! — 12 years ago

Immaculate. Cigar box, blueberry, kiss of acid and a helping of, still tight, tannins. Stunning.

Stellenbosch Cabernet Franc 2010

Really smooth and barely tannic. Bell pepper, then raspberries, then a long black-currant finish. So nice with a hunk of parmigiano. — 12 years ago
