Coastal Region, South AfricaFrom vineyards around the Coastal Region, rooted in its decomposed granite and weathered shales, these cabernet sauvignon grapes began fermentation in stainless, and were racked to barrel after 15 days to complete ferment and rest for 14 months (80% American, 20% French, 2nd and 3rd fill). Soft and plush, with ripe black cherry, blackberry, streaked with wood spicing and wrapped with ample, plush tannins, finishing with pipe tobacco smoke. Best taken as intended, with grilled root veg or beef.Tasted: 13 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Coastal Region, South AfricaFrom vineyards in Cape Town and Stellenbosch, grapes were hand harvested, fermented in stainless steel, and then transfered to used French and American barrels for 14 months. This shows plump black fruits that are bolstered by woody cedar notes and smoky herbs. There's a good amount of both ripeness and extraction, with 14.5% abv and noticeable grip to the tannins, though it doesn't quite fill out to full-bodied. Will do nicely alongside burgers.Tasted: 13 April 2021Tasted by: Prices:

Coastal Region, South AfricaWe were impressed with 2017, and 2018 is as good or better. Spier strives for fruit purity in its wines, never an easy task at this price point, but they seem to pull it off with aplomb. Nothing is pressing about this wine. It simply measured clean and balanced and as good as it gets for less than $20 from this grape variety. It's more European than New World, with less fat and oak, and more style and elegance. Look for moderate amounts of blackcurrant and black cherries, with a dusting of cedar and oak. It is ready to drink and perfect with any barbecued meat, stir fry, or pizza.Tasted: 31 December 2020Tasted by: Prices:
