Lammershoek 2008 Chenin Blanc (Swartland)
- $25
Fermented in French oak using only wild yeasts, this is a lavish and spicy Chenin for a reasonable price. Wood-driven notes of honeyed almonds, toasted challah and Honeycomb cereal dominate the overall character, though flavors of pineapple and juicy peach appear in the mouth.

- $10
Austrians Paul and Anna Kretzel co-own this winery with the Stephan family from Germany. The best fruit from their 600-ton production launches a fleet of proprietary wines. This flagship white is barrel- fermented in French oak, which produces a strong whiff of buttered wheat toast at the start. The flavors of dried pineapple, sweet basil and white pepper are…

Lammershoek 2002 Roulette Red (Coastal Region)
- $28
An interesting, medium-weight red and a sort of Cape-o-neuf de Pape--comprised of four Rhone grapes. It's ripe and juicy, with dark berry fruit accented by menthol and mint notes. The close of this nicely-fruited blend shows classy drier, slightly metallic Grenache notes.

Lammershoek 2001 Red (Coastal Region)
- Online Exclusive
- $13
This 60% Shiraz/40% Carignan blend shows a decidedly Rhônish profile with a (challenging?) mix of sweet lavender and vanilla with some very gamy notes accenting the dry red fruits. Medium weight, with decent acidity, this is no juiceball or fruitbomb, but shows a reserved slight tartness throughout, with even a traditional bitter herb touch at the close.
