Critics Ratings
'Cape classic; gentle yet persuasive, reflecting Etienne le R's signature light touch. Last tasted 03 Best Red Trophy SAA 2006; ripe, dry & showing unusual completeness for varietal cab. 45% new Fr oak, 10% Jnkrshoek Vlly vyds.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2008, 4.5*
'Etienne Le Riche is a total Cabernet specialist. With a tiny production of 5,000 cases across all his wines, this is boutique in the best sense. The Reserve Cabernets are, of course, the stars. This 2003 is fruit and wood driven, a powerful but still elegant wine, with black plums, tannins and super-ripe fruits.' - Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 91/100
