92 points Wine Spectator
"A fresh, focused red, with black currant and black raspberry fruit showing lovely purity. Offers sculpted tannins that create a sleek frame, while accents of violet, iron, milled pepper and black tea leaves provide fine detail and linger on the racy finish. Drink now through 2029."
92 points Wine Advocate
"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Stellenbosch is fresh and ripe with layers of blackberry and juicy plum aromas. It is full-bodied, offering notes of pencil shavings with a hint of graphite before swinging back to show juicy fruit flavors emanating in layers of complexity. The palate is balanced with a beam of energetic acidity that races to the long-lasting, juicy finish with persistent blackberry and dark cherry skin essences. Bravo! This is fantastic juice."
92 Points James Suckling
"Aromas of red and black cherry, milk chocolate and sweet paprika. Medium-bodied with fine, slightly tight tannins. Juicy and fresh, with subtle nutmeg and clove notes adding welcome complexity. I like the classic structure here. Drink now."
Jancis Robinson
"Full bottle 1,307 g. 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec. TA 6 g/l, pH 3.47, RS 1.9 g/l.
Tasted blind. Rich and layered. Nuanced and quite exciting with a sweet, ripe tannic undertow. Long, clean, polished finish. 18/20 points."
