3/15/2018 - johnrm Likes this wine: 89 pointsA more acceptable example of Pinotage than I feared (yes, I might be thought slightly prejudiced against this grape). Organic production and the vines are old, dating from the late 1960s. Raspberry jam is the prominent component on the nose and palate but with some plummy (and some cherry) fruit developing gradually. Some spice. A very 'juicy' wine with excellent acidity, integrated tannins and remarkable length. |

4/5/2015 - mike l. Does not like this wine: 77 pointsyou could drink it but it had a bitter astringent quality that made it unlikeable. $3 grocery outlet. |

2008 Bon Cap The RuinsRobertson Chardonnay Blend, Chardonnay more |
11/14/2014 - Mike Kopanski wrote: 89 pointsI think we have something here. Found this in a dusty corner in one of our local retailers. It has been sitting upright, but the screw cap did it's job and has maintained the freshness over all this time. Rich golden color. Needless to say, the 62% Chardonnay and 17% Viognier bring a high viscosity, lifted mouth feel. There is the beginning of layers of flavors starting with caramel leading to a steely, mineral citrus and even some apricot and orange peel. By the mid palate the Viognier brings a honeyed flavor on the roof of the mouth. By now nicely integrated and very well balanced. The finish has some peach, orange, melon and citrus. |

10/23/2013 - BRY wrote: 86 pointsInitially had a nice balance of bright fruit and pepper, but the longer it sat the more lush and smokey it became and lost the spice that balanced it out. After being open for a couple of hours, the overripe juiciness of it was overbearing to me. All that being said, for the price point, it's not a bad buy as long as you don't let it set. It paired really well with a bbq marinated chicken. |

4/24/2013 - Madkat Does not like this wine: 65 pointsTo the other 5 CT members that are holding this wine... gift it to someone you don't care for very much. I believe this is the lowest rating I have given a bottle on CT. One smell of the cork and the most descriptive word would be... yuck. Color is of urine... yes I did just say urine. 65 rating may be generous but I may be able to put this in the Nissan and improve my fuel mileage. |

9/4/2012 - grantsky wrote: 82 pointsThis wine is lacking in fruit but shows some bruised pear, apple, and minor tropical fruit. The wine does show an interesting nuttiness, honey, and toast, but with out the fruit, balance isn't there. Structure is lacking as well,with poor acidity and making the wine flabby and lethargic. |

8/28/2012 - chodur wrote: 87 pointsLiked it even tho more a red fan. Little strong which I think helped. If I recall pear, honey, little pepper heat yet smooth and relaxed. Can see this with chicken, fish, or even some pasta in white sauce. Yet I drank no food and enjoyed it. |

8/6/2012 - valecnik wrote: 88 pointsTobacco, clove, candy cigarettes and kirsch on the nose. On the palate, fruit is full and round with a touch of smoke, comprised of plum, blueberry and canned peach. Tartness and tannins help give focus and structure. I have never been a fan of Pinotage but its presence in this blend does not detract. One of the better South African wines I've had, really. |
