"Aromatic hints of bay leaf, black pepper and smoke ride the ripe flavors of cassis, black raspberry and fig cake in this bright and brambly, medium-bodied red. Creamy finish. Pinotage, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2025. 10,416 cases made, 3,566 cases imported." -AN, 2/28/22

"The 2019 Pinotage Kadette has a perfumed bouquet of boysenberry and iris petal aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Quite saline and strict toward the finish, which is delineated and refreshing." -NM, Apr/2021

"Composed of 44% Pinotage, 29% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Cabernet Franc, the 2019 Kadette Cape Blend begins with notions of smoke, dried herbs and a dark-fruited essence. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is clean and balanced and offers elements of dried tobacco, black plum skin and dusty potpourri before concluding with a lifted and subtly spiced finish." -AM, 6/9/22
