November 10, 2013 - I just really like South African CBs. While this was a little light on body and rough on the finish it is a lot better than most wines this price I have drank. Don't be afraid to break this one out for company, they will probably think it is a more expensive wine and will probably like it.

I was expecting a little more since its a 90 points for WA but still finds its way not to be just a fruity white wine and brings a mineral touch and some layers. Should try of you manage to find it.
