Perched on Simonsberg Mountain's windswept slopes, Delaire Graff crafted this Bordeaux blend as a meditation on power and restraint. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot, and Malbec underwent 70% whole-berry fermentation before aging for 18 months in 40% new French oak. Expect layers of black plum and dark cherry, with mineral notes of pencil lead and graphite cutting through dusty, fine-grained tannins. This wine rewards patience, with eight to ten years of aging potential ahead.

Robert Parker

"The 2020 Botmaskop, composed of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Cabernet Franc, 9% Petit Verdot, 7% Merlot and 3% Malbec, presents a tannic and dusty profile with vibrant notes of black plum and dark cherry. It also features hints of herbs, oak, pencil lead and graphite, adding to its complexity. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is tannic and fresh but could benefit from another year to settle, enhancing its integration. It will pair well with food, especially as it develops further, offering hints of red pepper skin, dusty herbal flowers and red fruit reminiscent of an Entre-deux-Mers Bordeaux wine. Fine-grained tannins contribute to its structure. This blend underwent 70% whole-berry fermentation and was matured in 40% new French oak barrels for 18 months. It promises good aging potential. This is a production of 34,124 bottles." —Anthony Mueller

"A sleek red, with creamy tannins defining dark, juicy boysenberry and black currant fruit that shows good length. Accents of cigar box spices, tobacco and graphite linger on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Merlot and Malbec. Drink now through 2030. 3,500 cases made, 400 cases imported."
