Blaauwklippen 2000 Barrel Selection Zinfandel (Stellenbosch)

Price $19

That’s right, a Zinfandel from South Africa. The acid-tannin backbone holds up the notes of cocoa powder and ripe, spiced plum, but none of the parts puts a damper on the growing herbal component. — K.F. (9/1/2003)

Blaauwklippen 2003 Shiraz (Coastal Region)

Price $27

Dark berry and trademark South African smoke comprise the nose and the flavors of this wine from this historic Stellensbosch producer, and while the tannins are soft, the wine has enough complexity to hold its own against heartier dishes. There’s some exotic spice on the palate too, offering an interesting extra facet to the wine. — S.K. (6/1/2007)
