* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A Bordeaux blend, with 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 16% Cabernet Franc and 24% Merlot, supposedly named because a passing Bulgarian described the wine as Magia (magical). In fact, it is in an elegant style, not hugely intense, but with good berry flavors, some herbal character and a sweet, juicy finish.

A fruit-packed wine that shows varietal character with its dusty tannins and black currant flavors. Layers of chocolate and toast go with the finishing intense, young acidity. Give this 2–3 years.

Nice berry flavors are nuanced with chocolate and oak, leading to a lighter style of Pinotage with lifting acidity and sweet purple fruit. Lemony oak and Rainier cherry flavors follow through to the quick finish. Imported by wine@34south.

A medicinal note goes hand in hand with those of cedar, char and dried mint on the nose. The palate is full of sweet, ripe currants with pepper, cinnamon and more char and mint. Sandy tannins are well-matched with refreshing acidity and a good-length finish.

Woody notes mix with leather and light brown sugar that carry to the palate with cedar, tobacco and meaty red plum. The oaking is well integrated, the meatiness is attractive and the wine is a great example of South Africa’s Old World bent.

Yeasty to start, with moderate yellow fruit aromas that transfer to a soft and creamy mouthfeel. A bit too soft, though, with low acidity letting the wine get flabby. 90% Chardonnay, 10% Chenin Blanc.

Nice Chard fruit has just enough oak on the nose, leading to a smooth, creamy mouth with tropical and white stone fruits whetted with mint and oak. Despite the fruitiness, this is dry, with plenty of spicy oak on the finish. Imported by wine@34south.

The acidity of this wine is simply refreshing. Distinct honey and lemon peel aromas follow through the palate to the long, herbed finish. —K.F.

This delicate wine is well balanced, with fine tannins and an elegant sensory package. Lightly grilled meat, potting soil, cinnamon, vanilla and cherry aromas meet with toast, leather, cherry and dried herb flavors. —K.F.

This is a grassy, lean bottling with a bit too much asparagus and vegetal notes on both the nose and palate. The flavor profile features some grapefruit and green apple, but the fruit is rather dilute and distant. Beyond that, the finish is dry, almost like drinking club soda.
