Critics Ratings
'Oldest Cabernet Sauvignon block on this Jonkershoek estate delivers intense but refined, silky 2015. Dense dark fruit core and sexy cedar from all French oak (70% new) and maiden dab Cabernet Franc. Deceptively easy, will reward patience.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2018, 5* (95/100)
'Stellenbosch doesn't make many better Cabernet-based reds than this, sourced from a single site at 340 metres. Blended with Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc (but no Merlot for the first time), it's an aromatic, beautifully balanced style, with notes of wild herbs and pine resin, dense, savoury tannins and incredible palate length. Drink 2020-30.' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2017, 95/100
