Vins d'Orrance 2010 Cuvée Anaïs Chardonnay (Western Cape)

  1. $33
Named for the winemaker’s youngest daughter, this ripe and sweet selection boasts intense oak-driven aromas of butter and creamy vanilla that mingle well with the honeydew, pear and peach notes. Thankfully, there’s good cut to the round mouthfeel, as zesty orange-flavored acidity keeps the finish fresh and long. Drink now–2014.  — L.B.  (5/1/2012)

A seductive and easy-pleasing wine, this ripe and lush beauty, named after the winemaker’s daughter, will draw you in with its sultry notes of ripe brambly berries, forest floor, cured meat, sweet smoke and spice. The mouthfeel is like velvet and the finish long, with a gorgeous mocha- and licorice root-flavored finish.  — L.B.  (3/1/2012)

Vins d'Orrance 2010 Kama Chenin Blanc (Western Cape)

  1. $33
A full-flavored and ripe selection, with decadent scents of sweet spice, whole vanilla bean and peanut skin that give depth to the ripe pear and melon fruit. There’s a tangy lift to the palate, as flavors of white cranberry and lemon zest keep the mouthfeel fresh. A honeyed almond accent unfolds on the close.  — L.B.  (7/1/2012)

Vins d'Orrance 2008 Cuvée Ameena Syrah (Western Cape)

  1. $39
The 14 months spent in oak lend this wine an earthy, sweet-spice-driven character that infuses the red cherry and currant aromas and flavors. The wood also contributes to the lush mouthfeel and smoky finish. But although it’s oaky, it’s not overwhelming, and the wine ultimately comes across as balanced and clean.  — L.B.  (5/1/2013)
