Critics Ratings
'Pioneer Cabernet-Shiraz flagship blend with near-legendary status. 2014 (62/31) has splash of Merlot, dense, plush black berry fruit and massive appeal. Poised and supple with velvet-gloved fist, elegant spiciness and lingering finish. Various larger bottle formats available.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 4.5* (92 points)
'Even in the cooler, wetter conditions of 2014, Coenie Snyman has produced a broad, plush, lavishly oaked cuvée of Cabernet Sauvignon with Syrah and a little Merlot. Smoky, textured and showing layers of Asian spices, dark berry fruit and dried herbs, this is typical of the Rust en Vrede style. 2019-23.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 93/100
