This is top shelf. It is the quality of the firm but fine tannin that sets this apart. The fruit is round, and full, plumb, spice, and compote. All balanced perfectly with the quality tannin giving grip and amazing length. Right up there. Night before France trip. — 3 days ago

This is embryonic but with so much potential. Nose is full of strawberry compote and mushroom. Palate is tightly wound but already complex and very balanced. Sweet red and black fruit, umami, porcini mushroom,. Lots of fine tannin and good splash of acid. Great balance. Like all great wines in the making, it changes with every sip. Will hunt this down. Superb. — a month ago

More spice and less full fruit character than Central/Gibbston expression.. nose says plum but palate is dominated by Sour cherry giving freshness. Tasted back to back with the Etna, this lost bigtime. — 10 days ago

Fantastic p/q. Strawberry and sweet cherry character. Sweet entry with depth and complexity. Just enough acid to provide interest and grip. Super drinkable.. — a month ago

Between Applejack and Sexton, this displays strawberries all day, with twists of mushroom funk, sandalwood spice, and red cherries. Good — 21 days ago

Very good. So close to Giant Steps, but maybe lacking a bit of zip and drive. Clean, super zesty , with notes of melon, passionfruit, lime, and grass. Less mineral than i like, but overall v well balanced. — 23 days ago

Cloudy almost muddy red with orange rim. Strikingly austere nose - leather, must, rose, and cherry. Palate is medium bodied with aggressive tannins. Cherry, rose, cola, tobacco, and tar. Classic nebb tannin and acid gives firm angular structure. A food wine. — a month ago
