A limited production wine (only 3,440 bottles produced) that has the depth and concentration one would expect for a wine with this price tag. Dark and floral with aromas of crushed African violets, black plum, cherry and clover. The mouth is lush and velvety, loaded with flavors of cassis, black berry, pepper and leathery spice that continue through the finish…

Aromas of cherry-infused balsamic glaze, leather, black licorice and a hint of menthol transition seamlessly to flavors of rich black plum, pepper and cigar box spice in the mouth. A well balanced and integrated wine with a creamy texture, fine grain tannins and a long finish.

Spicy plum and black currant aromas lead this stylish red blend. On the palate, savory black fruit and pepper flavors are poised and elegant, and not too big. Structured tannins and a spicy finish give it muscle, but overall it’s a mannered wine with a touch of mischief at the end.

Here’s a lively and juicy Pinotage that’s laced with bramble and savory herbs thoughout the dark fruit core. A coffee caramel drizzle sweetens up the long finish, and the structure is firm but approachable now.

Black currant leaf and juicy plum guts abound on the nose of this Bordeaux-style blend, and those aromas transition into the dominating flavors of the palate alongside suggestions of pepper and sweet smoked meat. Balanced, with fine tannins and a clean but lingering finish.
