Cabernet Sauvignon
2004 Stuhlmuller Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2004 Stuhlmuller Cabernet Sauvignon is a surprisingly drinkable young cab out of Alexander Valley. It is a gentle, medium bodied cab with soft tannins and flavors reminiscent of vanilla and fresh berries. Its mellow nature and subtle flavors actually remind me more of Russian River Pinots than Sonoma or Napa cabs.Cabernet sauv/blanc 2004
ROBERTSON WINERY PROSPECT HILL CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2004 TASTING NOTES Sélections Mondiales des Vins Canada 2007 - Silver Medal Michelangelo Awards 2006 - Silver Medal Intense aromas of blackcurrant and brambly wild fruit lead promisingly to rich flavours of ripe cassis and chocolate, as well as some earthiness. Balanced tannins and acidity ensure a well-defined structure and an elegant finish. IN THE VINEYARD The Prospect Hill vineyard is situated on a cool southeast-facing slope of the Zandvliet Mountains, at an altitude of 172 metres above sea level.1999 Chimney Rock Elevage
This was definitely the best wine I've had in a long time. The age worked well for it- gigantic but smooth.
Geek points: 95/100
Robert Parker, Wine Advocate: 93 points
Showcases the supple richness and smooth texture of Merlot, with layers of mocha-scented currant, black cherry, earth, coffee and cream notes.
A welcome to our valley
Welcome to our Valley The fertile Robertson Valley is the birth place of a wide variety of fine wines. Situated some 160 kilometres from Cape Town, it is bordered by the lower reaches of the Breede River to the south and the spectacular Langeberg Mountains to the north. In this sought-after wine producing region, a variety of meso-climates and soil conditions create a side spectrum of terroirs, allowing us to produce an exciting diversity of wine styles.How to Decipher an Intimidating Wine List
