Thelema Wines

Sort By:

Thelema 2007 Shiraz (Stellenbosch)

Price $36

Balanced and complex with herbal aromas of forest floor and sweet smoke married to the dense fruity core of black cherry, blueberry and juicy black plum. The organic dark fruit flavors continue on to dominate the satiny mouth, while a black pepper and espresso flavor unfolds on the finish. — L.B. (6/1/2011)

Thelema 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Price $41

There’s a prominent herbal streak to the nose of this wine, but it’s not jarring thanks to the support of rich black cherry and black currant fruit core. The savory herbs, menthol and licorice herbaceousness continue through to the palate, where again it’s matched by equally intense dark fruit flavors and a mouthwatering finish. Silky wood-spice accents the long… — L.B. (11/1/2011)

Thelema 2008 The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Price $45

There’s no doubt as to why they call this wine “The Mint,” as the first whafts of the bouquet provide an unquestionable mentholated aroma with a backdrop of black plum and currant fruit. Glimmers of crushed violet petals and mocha develop in the silky mouth, with the fine well-integrated tannins sticking through the lingering close. Enjoyable now but cellar-worthy… — L.B.

Thelema 2007 The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Price $45

You should know what you’re getting yourself into here, as the name definitely doesn’t lie. So minty and herbaceous it’s almost hard to believe, and it all mingles with notes of crushed violets and black currant leaf as well as a solid fruit core of cassis and black plum skins. It’s firm and tight in the mouth but approachable after a little breathing time. — L.B. (12/31/2010)

Thelema 2006 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)

Online Exclusive

Price $25

— S.K. (11/15/2008)

Thelema 2006 The Mint Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)

Price $45

Savory, sultry dark chocolate, red berry and pepper aromas lead into full, rich black currant, plum and pepper flavors in this alluring Cabernet. Full-bodied and spicy but with a velvety mouthfeel, the wine has power and elegance. — S.K. (9/1/2009)

Thelema 2000 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)

Price $25

Gyles Webb, whose spectacular vineyards drench the slopes of the Simonsberg mountain, was once better known for his great-value Sauvignon Blanc and for his reds. But his Chardonnay is as good as the rest of the range, full of tangy marmalade flavors and a well-judged use of oak, which supports rather than dominates the delicious citrus character of the wine. — R.V. (7/1/2002)

Thelema 2008 Sauvignon Blanc (Stellenbosch)

Price $20

Grapefruit, melon and grass on the nose lead into a balanced, elegant array of tropical fruit, citrus and grass on the palate. All laced together with a dancing acidity and minerality, the wine is both refreshing and contemplative. Melon on the finish gives it extra luxury. — S.K. (3/1/2010)
