Southern Right 2009 Pinotage (Hemel en Aarde)
- $27
Prominent coffee aromas are backed by notes of black berries, sweet smoke, crushed violets and chocolate mousse. The medium-weight mouth with a texture like crushed velvet is full and rich but not overdone, with a striking balance between cherry and brambly fruit and sweet spice flavors. A long, mouthwatering finish unfolds with each sip.

Southern Right 2010 Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay)
- $19
Hay, green plum and gooseberry lead off on the nose, while ripe hints of passion fruit and pineapple acidity flood the mouth. Lifted, with good cut and freshness, and a mouthwatering close. Delicious now, but should hold together nicely for another couple of years.

Southern Right 2008 Pinotage (Walker Bay)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
Superbly full and heady, the ripe black plum and dark raspberry notes mingle seamlessly with accents of spiced cigar tobacco and graham cracker crumbs throughout. The mouthfeel could use a bit more heft, but the finish is clean and satisfying. Balanced, soft and ready to drink now.

Southern Right 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
The mouthfeel of this wine is so full and weighty that one might never guess that it’s a South African Sauvignon Blanc. On the nose, glimmers of baby powder and chamomile mingle with soft notes of honeydew rind and crisp apple. The limey finish seals the deal nicely, like a comforting signature.

Southern Right 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay)
- $19
From the esteemed Pinot, Pinotage and Chardonnay producer Hamilton Russell, this vibrant SB starts with gooseberry, fresh-cut herbs and spicy pepper on the nose, and on the palate, citrus. Gooseberry and lemon peel. Has a richer character than many South African SB’s. Complex and unfolding.

Southern Right 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Walker Bay)
- $17
A perfect summer wine, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a combination of cheerful citrus and fruit and a flinty minerality that keep it dry and clean on the palate. Paired with seafood, it’s even better.

Southern Right 2002 Pinotage (Western Cape)
- $15
Solid, straight-ahead, and amply oaked, this Pinotage keeps the tart berry fruit focused and the funky earth note under control. There’s plenty of espresso and even some intriguing mint notes here. Finishes fairly long with tangy tannins, great for grilled meats.
