Thank you for sharing that Peter. I've been quite interested in trying some more Cape wines, but really didn't have much idea where to start besides the couple of producers I know reasonably well and trust (Meerlust and Ken Forrester).
I am a little surprised though that the Meerlust Rubicon blend hasn't been mentioned. From the occasions when I've had it, it's been outstanding and remarkably consistent - in my book a match for a lot of top Bordeaux.
I was also curious if you have any experience with the 'Anwilka' blend, which I also noticed was absent from the list. I've heard more praise/hype for that one wine in the US than most others from RSA, and have a couple of bottles of the 05 that I'm thinking of trying some time soon.
