Dear Wine Friend,
FINALLY!! We GOT
IT!
Perseverance and patience have paid
off!! But just 84 bottles have made the
journey!
If you purchased the 05
Thelema, 05 or 06 de Trafford Cabernet
Sauvignon, or the 08 Kanonkop Kadette (the "little
red that could!"), then you recognize
the high quality to value found in South
Africa's best wines, and
know the RARITY of this wine in our
marketplace necessitates an absolute MUST
PURCHASE!!!
Reference -
"...your warning shot!" - March 25, 2009
For 30 years, the John
Platter South African Wine Guide has been the original,
authorItative reference chronicle for all South Africa
wines. Kudos to the 2009 edition for
naming Kanonkop "Winery of the Year",
and its 2004 Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon as
"Wine of the Year"!
We just opened a bottle to make
sure the goods are up to snuff!, and the way we
remembered the wine from our SA trip in January
2009! Holy Mackerel!! REAL WINE!
This classic, old school,
100% Cabernet Sauvignon has
the savory aromas, palate complexity, and
firm structure of a benchmark Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon produced 20
to 40 years ago. Superb
drinkability, but potential for
even greater development and
transparency!
To be fair, some
limits may have to be imposed, but please request
with your best optimism at $35.95 a
bottle.

"Smooth, rich and creamy, with fig,
tangerine and nectarine flavors that are full-bodied,
pure and complex, floral and spicy, with a long,
persistent finish that picks up flavor. Drink now
through 2014. 824 cases" -J.L.

points, Wine Spectator
Trust me when I say, one has nothing to do
with the other!!
