Smelled fantastic when opened. Nice blend and not to serious. Easy to drink with a cool label. — 22 days ago

Star bright straw gold. Abundant nose of honeysuckle and lime. Tingly medium plus acidity leads the light palate which confirms the nose and adds a stern backbone of chalky mineral. A bit racy for sipping on its own, but a good accomplishment to medium spring and summer dishes. Much more approachable on the second day. Drink now. — 6 months ago

Dark, glass-clinging red purple with garnet highlights. BlackBerry, black cranberry, woody leather on the nose and medium full palate. Licorice black bread back palate and on the medium long finish. Medium plus tannins. Medium acidity. S Africa's signature red has come a long way from the days of dirt. The 21 Gables is an excellent example of a higher end food-friendly South African red. Enjoy with beef, game, and hearty fare now through 2028. — 8 months ago

Fun wine, extended skin contact - looks like a Rose and tasted like one too: mix between tart red fruit & savory notes, some potpourri, fairly exotic. Palate was bit more austere, open canvas for variety of light fare. We had huge salad w/smoked salmon and it was fantastic. Balanced and dry finish, go find some Georgian wine! — 2 months ago

Not much has changed since the last bottle about a year ago. Ripe and rich. Lots of varietal nuances. Still need some time. — 5 months ago
