In the press

90/100 - The 2020 Sutherland Cabernet Sauvignon, made with 10% Petit Verdot, features fynbos, wild herbs and spices with dark cherry and spiced plums complemented by oak. It shows a turned earth and balanced mid-palate with succulent acidity. The wine finishes fresh, vibrant and expressive, showcasing the qualities of a cool-climate Cabernet. The wine aged for 18 months in French oak barrels, 35% of which were new. Drink 2024-2033
Anthony Mueller, The Wine Advocate
