Le Bonheur 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- Best Buy
- Online Exclusive
- $12
Everything about this white smacks of elegance: the slatey, citrus nose, the clean, refreshing slate, asparagus and lime flavors, the flinty, lemon-lime finish. Reserved and poised, it’s fresh with a light, minerally touch. Pair with ceviche, oysters or sip on a hot summer day.

- $9
Cassis well integrated with the oak used here dominate from the nose to the long finish. The medium body weight fits well with the harmonious palate. A fine companion for tonight’s steak frites.

Le Bonheur 2000 Prima Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $15
A tasty 75% Merlot- 25% Cabernet blend with a dark berry, earth and toast profile. Just slightly tart, this will stand up well to full-flavored and spicy foods. Shows good fruit-acid balance plus hints of sous-bois (under the trees) woodsiness...not just oaky woodiness. A firm structured middleweight with solid appeal.

- Online Exclusive
- $12
A distinctive nose of fresh fruit, spice and citrus lead this luscious Chardonnay. On the palate, apricot and lemon, backed by toasted nuts, adds to the appeal. Clean and fresh while also full of body. An elegant food wine.

Le Bonheur 2005 Prima Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $15
Juicy red fruit and earthy notes of leather, tobacco and spice give this elegant red a mellow, classic character. Smooth but sturdy tannins and a lingering finish add to the appeal. Pair with grilled meat or game, or chill and sip with a chocolate ganache.

Le Bonheur 1999 Prima Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- $15
Though a Merlot-Cabernet blend, this wine’s pronounced tart cherry and spice elements call to mind a Chianti. Then again, it’s named Prima, so maybe the Italian profile was intended. It’s flavorful and fairly light-bodied, with licorice and earth accents. Finishes with even tannins and a mineral note.

The aromas of melon, white pepper and fresh thyme meet with citrus and dry herbs on the palate. A lovely Sauvignon Blanc in a light style, with very clean acidity. —K.F.

Le Bonheur 2004 Landgoed Sauvignon Blanc (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $13
Tasty juice with ample tangy citrus-herb tones over ripe melon and tropical fruit aromas and flavors. Has pizzazz, but no sharp edges, and finishes long with nice spicy notes. Easy to like and easy to drink, with good balance and some complexity.
