Critics Ratings

'V special flagship label is growing in stature. Latest 06 has rippling muscle yet gentle poise & silky texture. Seductive floral & aromatic scents over black plum & cherry fruit. Like 05, special occasion red & meat-mate. 18mths oak, all-new.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2011, 5*

'A typical expression of the vintage and the era, and the most ambitious Shiraz from the Cape at the turn of the century. Still bold and burly, showing concentrated, ripe dark fruit coated in oak spice and a layer of savory, meat smoke interest. Powerful, yet silky.' - Higgo Jacobs (2023)

‘Twelve months on from my last encounter, the 2009 Shiraz Select remains a guilty pleasure. This bottle showed more volatility on the nose than the last one, but the palate remains lavish and sweet with succulent black cherries and cassis fruit. It does not quite have the harmony that I recall, although hedonists will probably find it irresistible.’ ­- Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 90/100 (Nov 2015)
