Morgenhof 2001 Premiere Selection Red (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $35
A classic Bordeaux blend, dominated by 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, Premiere Selection is a ripe wine, layered with sweet fruit dominating firm tannins. Despite those tannins, the big fruit flavors mean the wine is ready to drink now.

Morgenhof 1999 Estate Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)
- Best Buy
- $12
This French-run estate (the family is involved with Gosset Champagne and Cointreau liqueurs) has produced a stunning Chardonnay. Big on creamy fruit and nutty, buttery flavors, this wine pairs toast, acidity and ripe fruit in a fine, complex balance. Best Buy.

Morgenhof 1997 Premiere Selection Red (Stellenbosch)
- Editors' Choice
- $20
The dry, tart berry, earth and tobacco profile is appealingly elegant, as is the lean but solid feel and good acidity. Closes long with tobacco and spice notes, and could pass for a Bordeaux cru bourgeois, or even a lesser classified growth. It’s drinking well now, but should improve further through 2004. Editors’ Choice. —M.M.

Morgenhof 2009 Mint Haven Cabernet Sauvignon (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $24
The name of this wine doesn’t lie; if you like mint, then this one’s definitely for you! Gorgeous notes of fresh eucalyptus take center stage to the blackberry and boysenberry fruit backbone. The menthol continues on in the mouth, with a gripping and structured finish that tastes like Thin Mint crumbles.

Morgenhof 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- $45
Matured in 100% new French oak, and it shows on the palate with tight wood tannins. This concentrated wine shows a dense, dark, brooding power from the estate’s oldest block of Cabernet vines. The tannins at the end are dry, and the wine deserves another four or five years to mature.

Morgenhof 2008 Estate Sauvignon Blanc (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $19
Gooseberry, citrus and green pepper lead on this full-bodied white from Morgenhof. On the palate, round flavors of gooseberry and lemon are lifted by a crisp acidity, though the wine is generally bigger than it is fresh. A serious Sauvignon Blanc that can be sipped alone or with spicy cuisine, seafood.

Morgenhof 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Simonsberg-Stellenbosch)
- $19
Lemon verbena and green grass aromas waft from the glass, with secondary notes of grapefruit and stone fruit to round it out. Vibrant acidity brightens this medium-weight mouth, with a touch of green plum-skin flavor and soft bitterness remaining through the lively finish.

Morgenhof 2002 Estate Noble Late Harvest Chenin Blanc (Stellenbosch)
- Online Exclusive
- $20
This complex, assertive dessert wine starts with aromas of orange marmalade, honey and tobacco spice, and on the palate, its smooth, integrated flavors of honey, citrus, cigarbox and spice are both elegant and unique. Its spicy, dry finish is an extra boost.
