Critics Ratings
'An altogether different kind of hedonism is captured in Webb's "other red", in spite of the fact that the terroir of these v'yds seems to blur identities of merlot and cab. And confer on both the Thelema thumb-print: ripe berry bouquet; fleshy, luscious palate; warm balanced finish. Barrel sample 97 promises too, some grassy and venison hints.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide (2000)
