The Wine Spectator mentioned the marked proliferation of South African wines. "The region has sorted itself out quickly over the last few years, purifying vineyards and focusing on modern-styled wines from blue-chip varietals such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah." In ten years we have noticed this change more locally. Spice Route, Rust En Vrede, and Fairview provide some examples of a work in progress - you can literally taste the difference!

07 Boekenhoutskloof The Chocolate Block Red Blend, Western Cape
A blend of syrah, grenache, cabernet sauvignon, cinsault and viognier."Deep red-ruby. Ripe aromas of plum, currant, licorice, truffle and meat. Sweet, rich and lush, with good energy to the flavors of red berries, spices and chocolate. Plenty of texture here. Finishes with ripe, buffered tannins. This is particularly impressive considering that there were 125 barrels of this juice. Winemaker Kent uses a lot of thick-staved 600-liter barrels for the grenache and blends in some syrah press wine to counteract the wine's oxidative tendency. This is fatter and richer than the nearly as impressive 2004: in their different styles, these two wines closely track the same vintages in Chateauneuf du Pape." 89 points. — Stephen Tanzer.

04 De Toren Z Bordeaux Blend, Coastal Region
"Plum and rose on the nose introduces this beautiful blend from De Toren, and on the palate, it shows ample structure and firm tannins with a shock of acidity that brings freshness to the overall flavor profile. Subtle, reserved strains of spice and soft fruit flavors end up with a clean and fresh twist. A unique and attractive wine at a good price." 91 points. — Wine Enthusiast

03 Goats do Roam Wine Co. Goat-Roti
"From Charles Back comes another play on a Rhône wine, although this has Grenache and Carignan in addition to the Shiraz and Viognier. A tight nose of ripe, red fruit leads to a jammy, plum-filled palate layered with chocolate, oak spice and vanilla. Rich and dark, with a round mouthfeel, it finishes with spice and a little warmth." 88 points. — Wine Enthusiast

07 Muderbosch Sauvignon Blanc
"Notes of grass, green pepper and citrus on the nose are followed by a combination of steely minerality and plump grapefruit on the palate in this sophisticated wine. Zippy but substantial, it will pair well with foods like oysters or grilled fish." — Wine Enthusiast

Pale yellow in color with a hint of green. On the nose, tinned pineapples, guavas, litchi, lemon and lime aromas are abundant. A clean, lively wine with nuances of nutmeg and cloves. Well-balanced and elegant, but with weight and a powerful follow-through on the palate. Stylistically off-dry and lightly oaked,
