90 Points - Gilbert et Gaillard. The Waterford Estate Antigo 2020 is a distinguished red blend hailing from the renowned Helderberg Mountain in Stellenbosch, South Africa. The name “Antigo” is inspired by the distinctive red clay soils of the specific Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard that forms the backbone of this blend. These rich soils impart a unique character to the wine, offering plush and elegant fruit aromatics, along with softer, sweeter tannins compared to other Waterford Estate offerings.

90 Points - Falstaff. The history of this very old vineyard begins in the 13th century. Château la Tour de Mons, formerly Tour de Marsac, took in 1623 the name of its owner Pierre de Mons. Château La Tour de Mons was later sold to the Clauzel Crunchet family and then bought back in 1995 by a group of institutional investors, Crédit Agricole and Caisse des Dépôts and Placements du Québec. Since, very important works of renovation and modernisation were carried out in order to restore its past. Vi

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast. Château Grand-Puy-Lacoste produced an outstanding 2013. Writing in the Wine Advocate, Neal Martin described it as ‘one of the finest Pauillac wines of the vintage.’ A cool, wet spring, baking hot July, and a harvest carried out in fits and starts, this was a vintage that tested the winemakers’ skills to the limit. Grand-Puy-Lacoste’s Xavier and Emeline Borie were more than up to the challenge though and produced a wine that warrants its status as a Grand Cru Classé.

Viandante is the boldest creation of Viandante del Cielo, a wine of structure and poise modelled on the great vintages of Bordeaux, dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with an important Merlot supporting act. The varieties may be international, but the lakeside terroir exerts a strong influence and makes this a distinctly Umbrian variation on the theme.  Vivino Rating: 4.2 (Feb 2025) Taste Dark ruby with violet tinge, complex and lifted nose of cigar box, blackcurrant leaf and crunchy morello cherry

This 1.2-hectare vineyard in Pauillac stands next to the 5th growth grand cru classé's of Chateau Batailley, and across the road from Château Grand Puy Lacoste, on soil worthy of a classified growth. The yield here is around 32 hl/ha and the vineyard is planted in equal measure of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. The entire batch of their Pauillac parcels is aged in new French oak barrels under the label Château Les Landes de Cach. The result is a superb wine from exceptional soils and winemakers.

92 Points - Wine Spectator. The Jayson Red Wine was produced from grapes from a selection of prime sites in and around Atlas Peak in eastern Napa. Hailing from the outstanding 2021 vintage, a year noted for its opulence, this blend of 81% Merlot and 19% Cabernet Sauvignon is wonderfully full and plump. The grapes were hand-picked and hand-sorted before undergoing fermentation in stainless steel tanks to enhance its fresh fruit profile and retain its bright acidity. The wine was then racked into

96+ Points - The Wine Advocate. The profoundly successful 2021 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon vintage - a year that seems destined to eclipse even the extraordinary 2013, 2018, and 2019 vintages – allowed Katie Vogt and her team to create a masterpiece. The Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red 2021, a blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 1.5% Petit Verdot, and 1.5% Malbec, is the product of high elevation sites at Upper Range, Waters Ranch, and Vagone. The grapes were hand-harvested at night to pres

No South African wine is as revered or acclaimed as the Book 17 of De Toren Private Cellar. This Western Cape wine is produced from a classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Malbec. The vines are planted on poor, free-draining soils which force them to dig deep into the sand and granite soils in search of nutrients, reducing the vines’ vigour and imparting complexity. Once they have reach optimum ripeness, the grapes are hand-harvested and rushed to the press house. Here

96 Points - Wine Enthusiast. La Mission Haut Brion produced a typically brilliant wine in 2008. While the vintage as a whole has been somewhat overshadowed by the 2009 and 2010, the 2008s are often exceptional and offer great value for money by comparison. Robert Parker awarded this classic blend of 51% Cabernet Sauvignon, 43% Merlot, and 6% Cabernet Franc 95 points praising its ‘Medium to full-bodied and concentrated with good acidity, freshness and delineation.’ Neal Martin gave the 2008 96 po

96 Points - Greg Sherwood, MW. The 2019 Bill Winshaw is a Cape Bordeaux blend that embodies Winshaw Vineyards’ heritage and precision. Led by 82% Cabernet Franc, with 6% each of Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, and Merlot, it balances finesse and power. Aged for 20 months in barrel (50% new oak), it unveils luscious red cherry, cranberry, and cassis aromas, lifted by fresh herbs, rose, and a hint of pencil shavings. The medium-bodied palate is vibrant and structured, with silky tannins, bright acidit

94 Points - Greg Sherwood, MW. The 2019 Winshaw Vineyards Charles Winshaw is a bold, Bordeaux-style blend showcasing the depth and complexity of Stellenbosch. Made from 61% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Malbec, and smaller amounts of Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this wine is aged for 20 months in oak barrels, resulting in a rich, structured wine with layers of dark fruit, spice, and subtle oak influence. A perfect balance of power and finesse, it’s a standout expression of Winshaw Vineyards’ commitment

A sophisticated expression of Franschhoek’s terroir, The Max 2019 is a meticulously crafted Bordeaux-style blend that balances power with precision. The nose is deeply layered, revealing cassis, black cherry, and plum, interwoven with cedar, tobacco, and graphite. The palate is structured yet polished, with finely grained tannins supporting a core of dark fruit, savoury spice, and mineral complexity. Aged in French oak, the wine’s elegance and depth promise remarkable ageing potential, yet its r

Mercury Head Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine of Orin Swift and emphasises their guiding principle: Without quality grapes, great wine is impossible. It comes from the best lots from very select vineyards in Napa Valley and the wine is a testament to those vineyards, to their principle and to what is possible in Napa Valley. The Liberty Dime on each bottle symbolises winemaker Dave Phinney's favorite coin in his collection growing up and his most prized possession. Vivino Rating: 4.4 (Mar
