Critics Ratings
'Barrel selection, all new French. Cassis & cigarbox, 2013 has impressive richness, intensity, concentration. Stands for the family name (as next), must be worthy, & is. Mocha chocolate flavours & succulence make it accessible but the best still lies ahead.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2016, 4.5*
'The 2013 5 Generations Cabernet Sauvignon, from vines planted in 1972, spent 18 months in new barrels. The nose is straight down the line blackberry and blueberry fruit that is nicely integrated with the oak - quite voluminous with distant scents of pine cone. The palate is medium bodied with juicy, saturated tannin, plenty of lush blackberry laced with cedar and graphite, leading to a sensual finish. This is worth seeking out.' - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 91/100 (Nov 2015)
