Critics Ratings
‘Aristocratic Cape Cabernet with deluxe lineage. 2004 concentrated, complex; finely etched cassis tints to ripe-fruit elegance; pure, clean and classy. Carries 14.5% alc with ease. Low-yielding Stellenbosch Cabernet supported by 12% Merlot, dash Petit Verdot.’ - Platter’s SA Wine Guide 2007, 4.5*
‘David Trafford's Cabernet is a very elegant affair. Its tannins, its blackcurrant fruits and its only-just herbaceous flavors are all cool, very straight. But it's also a wine that shows how good Stellenbosch Cabernets can be - an amalgam of power and style, of richness and structure.’- Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, 93/100 (Dec 2011)
