Johan Reyneke’s Cornerstone blend is a match for many a decent Bordeaux, and in the 2018 vintage is particularly good. Replete with classical aromas of cassis, pencil shavings and cedar, the palate follows with great elegance, structure and a chalky, long finish. If anything, I’d prefer a little more savoury character as this tends towards sweetness (but not over-extraction), but it’s young right now! It’s extraordinary how inexpensive this wine is - it would knock the socks of some Bordeaux Crus Classés in a blind tasting. — a year ago
Great wine with a zesty fruity sparkling finish it won’t disappoint however must be chilled to appreciate and enjoy. — 3 years ago
Very good expression with the entertaining of lychee and other bright floral perfumes. Lacks the tension between freshness and botrytis of the best vintages — 7 months ago
Very good, no hg. Rich soft, lots of currant taste.

Extremely fruit forward, low tannins, really good if you’re into that kind of thing. Black current heavy on the nose — 21 days ago

Really Improved pasta with NYT 'all purpose green sauce' and gauda with truffles cheese grated on top.
All in all nice in the evening.
Not so good the next day. — a year ago
Light and refreshing. A bit of red juicy berry but good on the stomach. Would drink again! — 3 years ago

17. Distinctive. Good acidity, light but enough fruit, would be refreshing in summer like a St Nicolas de Bourgueil. Not at all like a southern France Cinsault. — 13 days ago
