Same comments as before. Luscious, opulent, big and bold wine. Great strong mouthfeel, big chewy tannins, blackberry, black cherry, cassis, vanilla, strong minerality. A big wine and really enjoyable. — 2 months ago
A blend of the five Bordeaux varietals, this is an exceptional wine. There’s a great balance of acidity, velvet tannins and black fruit. Cassis, black cherry, black plum, a light toast and vanilla oak component and developing tertiary character of leather, forest floor and cigar box. Terrifically harmonious the wine is full bodied with a sense of being heavy. A joy to consume. — 4 months ago

Rich yellow in color with a golden hue.
Fruity on the nose and medium in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing ripe citrus fruits, yellow apples, light apricots, spices, light cedar, earth, herbs and white pepper.
Long finish with lemons and light spices.
This 9 year old Napa Chardonnay is drinking beautifully now. Rich and fruit forward. Juicy and entertaining. Alcohol is nicely integrated by now.
Elegant and nicely balanced. Complex, engaging and good right out of the bottle.
Drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Another solid vintage of this South African Bordeaux-Style red. Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (49%), Merlot (28%), Cabernet Franc (20%) and Petite Verdot (3%). Aromas of black fruit, vanilla and dried rose petals. Flavors of cassis, blackberry, mulberry, black cherry, dried herbs and minerals. Lengthy finish and full bodied. Soft tannins and well structured. Nicely aged and quite elegant. — 7 months ago
Chocolatey, meaty, soft tannins. The pizza of wines - nothing bad about that. — 9 months ago
Ripe in flavor, with a vivid array of black currant, blackberry, violet, black tea and black pepper aromas and flavors that zoom through to a long, expressive finish. Shows subtlety in the layers of complex flavor against a refined structure. Tannins are present but nicely contained. #1 Wine of 2009, Wine of the Year* — 2 months ago
Taking its name from the sea and sun – the two forces of nature that shape its character. Pale lemon, aromas of Stone and tropical fruits, with floral and sweet spice notes. On the palate flavors of apple, peach & apricot with lemon zest and toasty vanilla notes. Smooth long finish, well balanced, nice acidity, ending with fruit, vanilla oak and mineral character. Sip’s well now. Pair this with some fresh tuna! — 7 months ago
