Flagstone Shiraz -2004 (WE-56907)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Don’t let the screwcap fool you: this wine has quality written all over it. Twelve months in mostly American oak yields graham cracker and lemon aromas, with young blackberry and herbs supporting. Oak again shows in the mouth, supporting dark fruit flavors. It will be interesting to see how the big tannins age under screwcap, as this wine has years to go. Imported by Pasternak Wine Imports. 1 Note

Solms-Delta Shiraz -2006 (WE-112468)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

With a confectioned finish and sweet mocha notes on the nose, this might have seen a little too much wood in its 16 months in new French oak. Lovely notes of small red berries, sous bois and pepper appear in the bouquet, while sanguine notes overpower the soft mouth. Overall, it’s easy to drink but a little disjointed. 1 Note

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

From the former Beaumont winemaker Niels Verburg, this cool and collected Shiraz has lovely layers of mint, chocolate and spice, with raspberry fruit that is expressive but elegant. There's length and body but the wine has a tempered touch. 1 Note

Engelbrecht Els Vineyards Red Blend -2004 (WE-65328)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A collaboration between Rust en Vrede’s Jean Engelbrecht and golf star Ernie Els, this blend is a balance of fruity, spicy Shiraz and earthy Bordeaux—a testament to the two styles the winemaking partners enjoy. On the nose are hints of mint and spice, and on the palate, heavy oak adds a woody element. Ample structure but still smooth. 1 Note

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A collaboration between Rust en Vrede’s Jean Engelbrecht and golf star Ernie Els, this blend shows off Shiraz’s spicy, peppery nose and Bordeaux’s classic dry, earthy feel. Oak plays an integral part, offering woody flavors and big tannins. Warm throughout, this wine could use cellar time to integrate, but don’t wait too long. Imported by Vineyard Brands. 1 Note

Sanctum Shiraz -2003 (WE-58074)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

With time to open in the glass, this wine shows what it’s made of. Dark berry and Melba sauce aromas have a creamy quality, while the mouth is loaded with dark chocolate, plum, and smoke. The tannins are already smooth, along with easy acids that lead to a long, smoky finish.. Imported by Cape Classics. 1 Note
