Waterford 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- Cellar Selection
- $27
A big, fat, juicy wine that nonetheless preserves elegance and freshness. There’s a touch of eucalyptus and mint, plus an herbal character. The acidity holds the whole thing in balance. From master red winemaker Kevin Arnold, this is a wine that needs aging. Give it three to four years before opening.

Waterford 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- $29
From this beautiful Helderberg estate, this Cabernet Sauvignon is in a leaner style than some vintages, reflecting the cooler conditions of 2004. There are flavors of dark chocolate, juicy black cherries and damsons, while the wine is suffused with layers with acidity. Has great aging potential. Available in the U.S. next summer.

Waterford 2004 The Jem Red (Stellenbosch)
- $100
An alluring nose of violets, berries and a touch of spice begins this stylish wine from Waterford. On the palate, flowers, spice and minerals unfold and mingle with elegance. The tannins are pronounced but refined. The wine will age and offer more as time passes, but it’s a gorgeous sip today.

Waterford 2000 Sauvignon Blanc (Stellenbosch)
- Best Buy
- $13
Lively, with brisk lime and herb aromas opening into a mouthful of tart grapefruit flavors. Shows a nice mouthfeel and a long finish with a crisp citrus tang and a slight mineral note. This zinger is right up there with the best in this style from New Zealand.

Waterford 1999 Chardonnay (Stellenbosch)
- Best Buy
- $15
Everything about this elegant Chardonnay says balance and proportion. The tropical fruit shadings are carried by a solid acid backbone and accented smartly by mineral notes. A subtle yet rich perfume provides unexpected pleasure, and this wine has structure, reserve and depth. Can last two to five years.

Waterford 2001 Nadine Shiraz (Stellenbosch)
- $34
An animal note quickly blows off, leaving lovely menthol-eucalyptus, blackberry and molasses aromas. The animal note returns on the palate, pleasantly integrating with rich blackberry, black plum, coffee, pepper, cinnamon and clove flavors. Mentholated char and fresh herbs carry out the long finish.

Waterford 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stellenbosch)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
This is more herbal than other recent vintages from Waterford, a stalky Cabernet style. The tannins are firm, dry and solid, the fruit leaning towards hedgerow black fruit flavors. It is ready to drink now, and delicious.
