Natte Valleij Cinsault 2021

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

Reyneke

Cornerstone Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2018

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

Hamilton Russell Vineyards

Hemel-en-Aarde Valley Chardonnay 2022

Not sure. Expected some unique flavors. Yet this turned out to be kind of a middle of the road good Chard. — 25 days ago

Klein Constantia

Vin de Constance Natural Sweet Muscat à Petits Grains 2019

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

Pinotage 2019

Nice garnet color. Aromas of plum, blackberry earth and spices. Dark fruit flavors with accents of coffee, dark chocolate and herbs. Smokey finish. Very “Beaujolais-like.” (Carbonic Maceration?) Fresh and juicy. Acidity also present. Thank You Ron B! — 2 years ago

Paso Robles Cabernet Sauvignon 2021

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

Franschhoek Cellar

The Huguenot Chenin Blanc 2022

Sa chenin.
Feels a bit of a product.

Some tropics, 🍑, 🍏 grapefruit and some vanilla.

Full body.
Medium + acidity.

Long 🎯 with a backbone of bitterness

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.

Cape Bleue Rosé Blend 2020

Light and refreshing. A bit of red juicy berry but good on the stomach. Would drink again! — 3 years ago
