Critics Ratings
'As its name suggests, this is a three-way blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon with 30% Cabernet Franc and 15% Merlot. It's tighter and fresher than the 2010, with leafy complexity, notes of mocha and graphite and lovely perfume. Floral and feminine. Drink: 2015-24' - Tim Atkin SA Wine Report 2014, 94/100
'Cab-led Bordeaux-style red blend & flagship, 11 a classic Cape expression marrying cassis fruit, exotic spice & fine tannins. Seriously wooded - 2+ years French barrels, 60% new - setting the stage for a grand future.' - Platter's SA Wine Guide 2015, 4.5*
