The Wolftrap is a tribute to the pioneers who ventured into the Cape wilderness in the early days and built a wolf trap on Boekenhoutskloof along the Western Cape of SA.
It is a traditional Rhone Blend consisting of three Mediterranean varieties, Syrah, Mourvèdre, and a dash of Viognier (a la Cote Rotie). 2020 was a great year for South African winegrowing across the board. There was much more rainfall than in the previous drought-stricken years and suitable climatic conditions during bud break ensured a regular growing season. This made for some big, expressive Red wines like the one you see here today. It’s a total steal for the price.
The nose is intense, dark, and brooding with an abundance of black fruit aromas and scents of violets, pepper, and cured meat with gentle whiffs of dried coriander and tar. The savory, gamey smell and dark berries of the nose follow through onto the palate with notes of licorice, cardamom, and hints of cranberry, red currant, and cloves. The mid-palate is full and creamy with supple tannins and well-integrated acidity as well as spicy undertones from the subtle oak present.

With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2021 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
Anne Sery describes her Trousse Chemise Cabernets as an ode to the Left Bank and her winemaking roots. It’s a beautiful and fresh Cabernet with aromas that leap from the glass with of black raspberry, violets, and creme de liquor notes. The mouth gives generous amounts of juicy black fruits at the core with hints of baking spice and a smooth, savory finish. This is a terrific partner for just about anything from hard cheese, to poultry, summer salads, you name it!

Damien has crafted a delicious Médoc, full of character with dense black currant and cherry fruit, cedar, tobacco and wonderful complexity. It’s silky complexion is what pushes it over the edge (and, of course, the price!) It doesn’t hurt that it comes from a 95-point Left Bank vintage that the Wine Advocate declared, “outstanding.”

“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
