70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot, 5% Cabernet Franc. Taut, ripe and quite fresh with powerful blackberry and blackcurrant fruit. Some firm spiciness. The palate is ripe and concentrated, but measured with some lovely firm structure. Lovely berry fruits and a bit of grip.Jamie Goode, www.wineanorak.com (Sept 2012)

Dark. Savoury but a touch of Jamaican ginger bread. Treacle. Burnt sugar. Something green (laurel perhaps?), menthol. Huge. Blockbuster of flavour. Slightly firmer tannins than any of the others - young tannins, definitely needs more time. A green underlay to this wine that isn't on the others, but it is adding dimension. Drying slightly on the finish. Oak is flexing its muscle. Dark fruit, bitter coffee, green pepper, some cigar spice. Very grippy. Very young. Very big. Rating: 17/20 Tamlyn Currin - www.JancisRobinson.com (Feb 2011)

Haskell Vineyards

The Haskell Vineyards estate is in the Helderberg, the revered Stellenbosch sub-region which contains many of South Africa's greatest wine names, the 23 hectares of vineyards neighbouring Rust en Vrede, Stellenzicht and Bilton.

The estate was originally names Dombeya after a wild native pear tree that gows in the area, and this is the name used for the 'Dombeya' range, which is designed to represent great value at its price point and to offer an insight into the capacity of the estate to make stylish wines of individuality.

The founding winemaker, Rianie Strydom, has now handed over the baton to Rudolph Steenkamp, who joined the estate as assistant winemaker and vineyard manager in June 2018. Rudolph has worked for four vintages at Groot Constantia, as well as in France.

Awarded an elite five star rating in the upcoming 2010 John Platter Guide, Haskell also made history by becoming the first South African winery to win Best Red Wine and Best Wine in Show at the prestigious 2009 Tri-Nations Challenge, a yearly competition between the finest wines of Australia, New Zealand and South Africa.
