Môreson 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Coastal Region)

  1. $27
A fruit-packed wine that shows varietal character with its dusty tannins and black currant flavors. Layers of chocolate and toast go with the finishing intense, young acidity. Give this 2–3 years.  — R.V.  (11/1/2006)

Môreson 1999 Merlot (Franschhoek)

  1. $23
This delicate wine is well balanced, with fine tannins and an elegant sensory package. Lightly grilled meat, potting soil, cinnamon, vanilla and cherry aromas meet with toast, leather, cherry and dried herb flavors. —K.F.  — K.F.  (4/1/2003)

Môreson 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon (Franschhoek)

  1. $25
The aromas and flavors of tobacco, anise and apple peels are fleshed out with vivid fruit, in the form of blackberries and plums. A bit of air develops the consuming sensation of pepper into an herby char on the finish, and chalky, coating tannins on the body.  — K.F.  (4/1/2003)

Môreson 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon (Coastal Region)

  1. $20
Woody notes mix with leather and light brown sugar that carry to the palate with cedar, tobacco and meaty red plum. The oaking is well integrated, the meatiness is attractive and the wine is a great example of South Africa’s Old World bent.  — K.F.  (8/1/2003)

Môreson 2004 Premium Chardonnay (Franschhoek)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $19
Nice Chard fruit has just enough oak on the nose, leading to a smooth, creamy mouth with tropical and white stone fruits whetted with mint and oak. Despite the fruitiness, this is dry, with plenty of spicy oak on the finish. Imported by wine@34south.  — M.D.  (11/1/2006)

Môreson 2003 Magia Red (Coastal Region)

  1. $27
A Bordeaux blend, with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 24% Merlot, supposedly named because a passing Bulgarian described the wine as Magia (magical). In fact, it is in an elegant style, not hugely intense, but with good berry flavors, some herbal character and a sweet, juicy finish.  — R.V.  (11/1/2006)

Môreson 1999 Magia Red (Coastal Region)

  1. $25
A medicinal note goes hand in hand with those of cedar, char and dried mint on the nose. The palate is full of sweet, ripe currants with pepper, cinnamon and more char and mint. Sandy tannins are well-matched with refreshing acidity and a good-length finish.  — K.F.  (9/1/2003)

Môreson 2001 Chenin Blanc (Franschhoek)

  1. $13
The acidity of this wine is simply refreshing. Distinct honey and lemon peel aromas follow through the palate to the long, herbed finish. —K.F.  — K.F.  (4/1/2003)
