Stark-Condé 2007 Three Pines Unfined and Unfiltered Syrah (Jonkershoek Valley)
- Editors' Choice
- $35
An immediately attractive wine with intense aromas of black raspberry, cherry and plum laced with toasted cedar and mocha accents. The texture is like crushed velvet, and the rich mouth filled with firm but fine-grain tannins. A touch of cola spice unwinds on the long finish. Drink now–2014.

Layers of cherry, currant and herbs give this fresh Cab an elegant but earthy feel. A lovely balance of fruit and acid, topped with supple and structured tannins, add to the success. Very pretty and collectible.

Stark-Condé 2007 Three Pines Cabernet Sauvignon (Jonkershoek Valley)
- $42
With 4,300 bottles produced and only 110 cases imported, this is a gorgeous small production Cab that should be grabbed up when you find it.

Chocolate, cigar leaf and plum fruit aromas lead to a big, full-bodied wine with great balance and plenty of ripe tannins. Kirsch, black currant and spice flavors are plenty deep; tobacco shines through on the long, smooth finish. Imported by Vineyard Brands.

Stark-Condé 2004 Stark Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- $27
A very pure line of blackberry and dark cherry flavors distinguish this wine. It is certainly structured—underneath the fruit there are plenty of fruit and wood tannins—but the ripe fruit flavors dominate. Based on fruit from the Jonkershoek valley, this shows a fine minerally side, compliments of the granite subsoil.

Elegant berry and pepper lead on the nose of this balanced Syrah. On the palate, the wine offers fresh fruit with a peppery backbone that results in a soft but structured style. Refined flavors and a long finish seal the deal. A classy choice.

Stark-Condé 2006 Three Pines Syrah (Jonkershoek Valley)
- Editors' Choice

Spicebox, red berry, pepper…all entice in the aroma of this more delicate, sophisticated red. On the plate, its gentle layers of warming spice, pepper, spice and cloves offer refined complexity. A beautiful, sultry sip that will pair well with cheeses, grilled meats, stew.
