Warwick 2004 Estate Reserve (Trilogy) Red (Stellenbosch)
- Editors' Choice
- $32
This was the first Bordeaux blend from the Cape, and remains one of the very best. This 2004 is stylish, very Bordeaux in its structure, yet shows a richness of fruit that Bordeaux can only envy. Black currants, dry tannins and a sense of great ageability—they are all there.

Warwick 2004 Winemaker Guild Blend Red (Stellenbosch)
- $60
The Winemakers Guild is a grouping of South African winemakers and members who can submit wines for approval and release under the Guild name. This impressive 2004 Cabernet is still very young, firmly under the control of fine tannins, but showing ripe but structured dark plums and herbs underneath.

- Online Exclusive
- $30
This is a gorgeous Bordeaux-style blend that grabs you right from the start with a decadent nose of black currant liqueur, toasted coconut, black cherry, cedar and a hint of purple African violet florals. The mouth is round but not fat, with a firm but not unyielding structure followed by a toffee-kissed finish that lingers endlessly. Drink now–2015.

Warwick 2006 Estate Reserve (Trilogy) Red (Stellenbosch)
- $33
This complex red starts with concentrated aromas of anise, black fruit, vanilla and mocha, followed by alluring, round flavors of mocha, blackberry, tobacco and a spin of coffee. The tannins are substantial but smooth. A wine that can age or be enjoyed today.

Warwick 2003 Tilogy (Estate Reserve) Red (Stellenbosch)

Smooth and sexy, this trilogy of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot offers a wood-driven nose with eucalyptus, brown sugar, vanilla and chocolate, all tinged with spice.
