Emergency Wine Alert!
 
 
 
Kanonkop Barrels 
 
 
2004 Kanonkop Cabernet Sauvignon - Stellenbosch-Simonsberg, South Africa - $35.95
 
 
"Winery of the Year" & "Wine of the Year" -
 
 2009 John Platter South African Wine Guide
 
 
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. 
 
 
Also this breaking news!!  ENJOY MALDONADO!! 
 
And we don't mean 
California's new Lt. Governor!!!! 
 
2007 Maldonado Chardonnay, Parr Vineyard, Sonoma - $27.95
 
NOW $24.50 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.

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