Best of the West
2010 Semillon Sauvignon – 4 stars
Earthy bouquet with slight toasty note, and a full flavoured and very lively fruit palate showing loads of character.
2010 Parterre – 4 stars
Very lifted fragrances of peaches and nectarines, with a fresh and lively palate showing subtle, crusty-bread nuances wrapped in the sweet fruit flavours.
2010 Chardonnay – 4 stars
Very good wine with lovely lifted floral and tobacco-like aromas. Obvious fragrant oak on a long, citrusy palate that has great flavour intensity.
2009 Cabernet Merlot – 4 stars
Bright, easy-drinking style with lovely bright cassis fruit and balancing oak with tannins – “They creep up on you” said one judge.
2009 Cabernet Sauvignon – 3 ½ stars
Lovely clean cabernet fruit reminiscent of sweet brambles with some menthol notes. Definitely one to put away.
