Stark-Condé 2007 Three Pines Unfined and Unfiltered Syrah (Jonkershoek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
An immediately attractive wine with intense aromas of black raspberry, cherry and plum laced with toasted cedar and mocha accents. The texture is like crushed velvet, and the rich mouth filled with firm but fine-grain tannins. A touch of cola spice unwinds on the long finish. Drink now–2014.

Stark-Condé 2007 Three Pines Cabernet Sauvignon (Jonkershoek Valley)
- $42
With 4,300 bottles produced and only 110 cases imported, this is a gorgeous small production Cab that should be grabbed up when you find it. It’s all dark fruit and sweet spice with notes of black currant, fig, plum, leather and cigar box. With firm tannins and a medium-full weight, this is a big but balanced wine that’s easy to enjoy now or can be cellared for a…

Layers of cherry, currant and herbs give this fresh Cab an elegant but earthy feel. A lovely balance of fruit and acid, topped with supple and structured tannins, add to the success. Very pretty and collectible.

Spicebox, red berry, pepper…all entice in the aroma of this more delicate, sophisticated red. On the plate, its gentle layers of warming spice, pepper, spice and cloves offer refined complexity. A beautiful, sultry sip that will pair well with cheeses, grilled meats, stew.

Neil Ellis 2006 Vineyard Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Jonkershoek Valley)
- $28
Like most of the wines from Neil Ellis, this Sauvignion Blanc has moxy and elegance wrapped into one. Intense ripe fruit and lemon in the nose and on the palate give the wine a bold character, but good minerality adds a pretty restraint to the final product. An assertive, exciting wine that will pair well with dishes of the same ilk.

Stark-Condé 2008 Three Pines Unfined and Unfiltered Syrah (Jonkershoek Valley)
- $35
Juicy fruit aromas and flavors of raspberry and wild strawberry abound on the nose and mouth, framed by notes of vanilla crème, purple flowers and light foliage. Balanced and surprisingly quite approachable now with an overall soft profile and easy finish.

Neil Ellis 2003 Vineyard Selection Syrah (Jonkershoek Valley)
- $43
The Jonkershoek Valley receives more rain than almost anywhere else in South Africa, but that hasn’t negatively affected this wine. Big, chewy and warm, at 15% alcohol, this Shiraz has solid tannins and flavors of blueberry, coffee, earth and a touch of vanilla. The nose offers much of the same, with semisweet chocolate adding to the complexity. Finishes with good…

Stark-Condé 2005 Twin Peak Vineyard Unfined and Unfiltered Syrah (Jonkershoek Valley)
- $35
A lovely nose of cedar, pepper and berry is followed by flavors of smoke, pepper and energetic fruit in this big red. A touch aggressive on first taste, the wine is rounded by good acidity and elegant spice layers.
