• 2008 Boekenhoutskloof The Wolftrap
  Dark, chewy, dark fruits, well-balanced, semi-concentrated, pleasant every-day wine (87 pts.) - Tasted 9/10/2010. […]

• 2007 Schloss Lieser Brauneberger Juffer Riesling Kabinett

• 2005 August West Pinot Noir Rosella's Vineyard

Not your typical California Chardonna […]
