Description
 
(2012)The estate was a farm dates back to 1682. In 2003, May de Lencquesaing, then owner of Chateau Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande acquired the estate and turns it into a world class winery. The vineyards are situated on southern slopes of Simonsberg Mountain in Stellenbosch. Luke O’Cuinneagain, who previously had worked at Chateau Angelus and Screaming Eagle, is the chief winemaker who keeps minimal intervention approach to winemaking.

The 2012 Estate Reserve Red is a blend of 45% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Shiraz, 11% Petit Verdot and 6% Merlot, and the wine seems to be going through the change. While no longer young, fresh and vibrant, nor fully mature and aged, the fruit is slightly dried with a soft herbal edge and a lovely mineral tension. Medium to full-bodied, the wine offers soft tones of oak at the center, held together with the profile of dried blackberries, plum and black cherry with flavors of sage and mint, ending with lively tannins on the lingering finish. It will mature and will be lovely to drink over the next 4 to 6 years. Wine Advocate 90 (2012)
