Vinous, Antonio Galloni
(8/2018) "The 2017 Breton (whose name is inspired by the Loire) comes from two vineyards in the Polkerdrei (100% whole-bunch-fermented) and from the foothills of the Helderberg, matured in third-fill oak barrels. It has a fresh, vibrant bouquet that really articulates the Cabernet Franc in a Chinon style. The palate is medium-bodied with dry tannin and a little reserved and austere at first, opening with classic bell-pepper-tinged Cabernet Franc fruit and closing with a touch of cracked black pepper on the finish. Excellent."

Van Loggerenberg "Geronimo" Stellenbosch Cinsault 2017

Our Score
(10/2018) Another new South African find, this time from an exciting producer in the Stellenbosch region. Alive with great energy and freshness, this 100% whole cluster Cinsault reminds us of a wine from one of Kermit Lynch's natural growers in the Languedoc. Red fruit flavors, floral notes and pepper intermingle beautifully. This medium-bodied wine has the capability of drinking well for days after opening. Young Lukas Van Loggerenberg is bottling some seriously distinctive wines, and his "Geronimo" is delightful.

BLANKbottle "The Bomb" Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon NV
Lowest price in the world for decadent Cabernet from Pieter Walser!
91
Our Score
(3/2019) "The Bomb" is a hedonist's delight with a purity of fruit and an absence of makeup that you've come to expect from BLANKBottle. A totally unique offering from Pieter, yet one that commands the attention of the indulgent. Smoky black plum, fig jam and cassis are radiant with lifting eucalyptus and mint that are a staple of the source. Because of the purity and dark fruit profile, this wine will crossover to lovers of warm climate Syrah. Many wines that shoot for this type of target lose track of the beauty of fruit. This wine is at once full-throttle and still feels fresh and natural. Treat yourself! The price of admission here should be well north of $30, and don't overthink it - pop it and pour tonight with barbecue, or all by itself!

Radford Dale "THIRST" Stellenbosch Cinsault 2017
90
Our Score
(8/2018) Radford Dale's "Thirst" line is aptly named. When one's thirst needs to be slaked, this is what you should reach for! This is old bush vine Cinsault from Stellenbosch that undergoes carbonic maceration. This series is supposed to represent place and site and are made naturally. Nothing is added, and nothing taken away, simply juice. This is super fresh and vibrant, with bursting red fruits and just a touch of spiciness to complement the palate. You just want to simply drink this wine! And at 10% ABV, this is one crushable way to take care of your "Thirst!"

The Winery of Good Hope Stellenbosch Pinotage 2017
89+
Our Score
(6/2018) It's not often we feature a Pinotage, so we are quite excited to bring you this winner from The Winery of Good Hope. It is sourced from two vineyards, one of which is planted with old bush vines. The wine goes through a partial carbonic fermentation which allows for more fruit and less tannin, resulting in a very clean flavor profile. Look for loads of juicy mixed red berry fruits with a touch of the characteristic Pinotage notes of smoke and leather on the dry finish. If you haven't had a Pinotage in a while (or ever!), this very good example is a must-try!

Raats "Original" Unwooded Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc 2018
Raats is back!

Vinous, Neal Martin
(8/2018) "The 2018 Original Chenin Blanc comes from lower-sited vineyards, mainly on sandstone soils, and saw no wood contact. It offers straightforward, quite fragrant white flower and nectarine scents on the well-defined nose. The palate is well balanced with a pleasing citrus attack on the entry, followed by orange peel, a touch of peach skin and hints of elderflower toward the long, fresh finish. Very fine and a great value."
