Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 88
"The 2020 Merlot comes from two sites on the estate and has quite a potent menthol-scented bouquet that is attractive, if just a little strong for me. The palate is medium-bodied with ripe tannins, a mixture of menthol and licorice and a sweet, slightly confit finish. Decent enough but outclassed by the Cabernet Sauvignon." -Neal Martin

Robert Parker

RP 92
"Made with splashes of Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2020 Merlot is bright, plummy and herbal with notes of wild brush with dark cherry compote and oak spices. Full-bodied, juicy and layered with a firm tannic grip, the palate is complex with mouthwatering acidity that glides to a delightfully long, spicy finish. It's an excellent representation of South African wild brush and herbal essences. Just under 12,000 bottles made." -Anthony Mueller
