Rust en Vrede Merlot -2005 (WE-70964)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This is a traditional, terroir-driven Merlot, heavy on the dark berry and mocha and with smooth, balanced tannins. Soft, warming spices are intertwined throughout, and the finish dry. There’s structure and tannin here, but the wine is approachable. Imported by Terlato Wines International. 1 Note

L'Avenir Pinotage -2004 (WE-61898)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Rich and silky, this wine is full of very soft, sweet fruit. It has the texture of treacle, dense but without any sense of tannins. The dusty, superripe fruit (14.5% alcohol) makes it very enticing, but the structure and the acidity seem to have disappeared. Not imported. 1 Note

L'Avenir Sauvignon Blanc -2005 (WE-61899)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

With its softness, its layers of wood, this wine has delicious apple and cream flavors, giving a tropical style of Sauvignon Blanc. But there is also great acidity and a hint of a mineral character to give it structure. Not imported. 1 Note

KWV Cabernet Sauvignon -2003 (WE-62563)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A very intense, perfumed wine, with great blackberry and spice flavors. Ripe and juicy, it has soft tannins and a firm, dry layer from wood aging. Big and concentrated, this wine is ready to drink now. Not imported. 1 Note

L'Avenir Chenin Blanc -2005 (WE-50536)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

This estate is widely reputed for its Chenin Blanc. And no wonder, with this very dry, ripe character wine spiced with cinnamon and citrus. This is a full, creamy style, which matures well, and will certainly be even more impressive in 8–9 years. Imported by Wingard. 1 Note

Rudera Chenin Blanc -2002 (WE-50537)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Rated the top Chenin in South Africa in 2005, this is a serious but delicious wine. It has a toasty character from wood fermentation and aging, but a character which does not dominate the sweet fruit. Spice and honey come from the tropical flavors, but the final taste is of crispness and acidity. 1 Note

Zevenwacht Chenin Blanc -2005 (WE-50545)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A well-made, big, fat wine, which brings in some toasty elements, along with dense white fruits, honey, nuts and dried apricots. While the previous vintage clocked an overwhelming 14.5% alcohol, this wine at 13.5% is much better balanced. 1 Note

Post House Chenin Blanc -2002 (WE-50549)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A wood-aged wine that has achieved some good balance. It is big and rich, almost like Chardonnay in weight, but it seems to have little of Chenin’s varietal character. 1 Note

Umkhulu White Blend -2004 (WE-50506)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A wine with a fine, nutty complexity over ripe fruit, with a touch of toast and a full, buttery flavor. This is developing well, but could age another 18 months. Imported by South Atlantic. 1 Note

Monterosso Chenin Blanc -2005 (WE-50507)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Very soft, without a huge lift or character, but the wine does have freshness and cleanness and a low price. Some currant flavors in the aftertaste give a lift. Imported by The Wild Grape. 1 Note
