Winemaking team Gary and Kathy Jordan have pretty much done it all from their Stellenbosch farm, having made great wines since the early nineties, hauled in plenty of awards and become Cape Winemakers Guild members. Their wines are elegant and classic in style, yet approachable. More than this, they are of consistent quality from vintage to vintage. The Cobblers Hill fits into their Reserve Range as the estate's flagship Red. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the wine is a big, rich and densely layered offering that is testament to the Jordan's knowledge of their vineyard and its fruit. Superbly balanced and full-flavoured, this is a great wine to enjoy with hearty winter fare, or just on its own. Their most recent vintage was also awarded 5 stars in the Platter's Guide, further commendation for an already highly regarded wine.
Brendon's thoughts:
Always been a big fan of Jordan wines. This is another cracker: big, tasty and filled with ripe, concentrated fruit. Voluptuous yet all in balance, I'd happily drink a bottle!
Marc's thoughts:
Full on the palate, soft on the finish and with no shortage of flavours, this is an opulent blend. It is smooth and seductive, so much so that you'd struggle to find anything more elegant.
Price at Caveau: R422 per bottle
