2011 Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block   Always Syrah dominant as the wonderful bittersweet chocolate flavors derive from the Malmesbury Syrah, this blend also has some juicy dark berry and peppery flavors. Very food friendly as the wine's acidity is in balance. Roasted pork with sage, roasted lamb with rosemary, coffee and pepper rubbed roast beef, or roasted ice cream....just testing on the last one to see if you noticed. "The influence of the Grenache’s red fruits on this wine is striking. The nose shows an abundance of redcurrant, plums, crushed rock, and an array of spices. The floral notes adds to its complexity. The freshness of the wine puts its head in front of the previous vintages. Spicy oak aromas cover a rounded mid-palate that reveals layers of fruit with intense purity. Textured, composed and seamless in style." Learn More ... |

2010 Badenhorst Secateurs Red Blend   Red fruits, a little pepper, and earth, distinctly South African with its big flavors in check. Pairs really well with game, fowl, sausages, and yes, pizza.

The texture and finesse of the tannins is elegant and lasts through to a long finish. A wine that will age gracefully with time." Learn More ... |

2009 Badenhorst Family Red Blend   "Enticing aromas of blackberry, raspberry, pepper, black olive and game." "The wine has the potential to age very gracefully for the next decade or so. The aromas are brooding with complex notes of pepper, liquorice, perfume and black cherries.The palate entry is quite dense with lavender and dark berry fruit. The finish is dry with well spread tannins ending with savoury and currant flavours. I anticipate that this will be a wine that will gain much complexity in the years ahead." Learn More ... |
