Ernie Els is known as the 'Big Easy' for his smooth flowing golf-swing and you can understand why they have decided to use this moniker for this more accessible cuvée from the Engelbrecht Els vineyard. A truly vibrant and scented blend of Cabernet, Shiraz, Mourvedre and Viognier. Like Ernie's swing this is velvety smooth yet has impressive power and persistent drive. L&S (Nov 2012)

Nose and palate are rich ripe fruited with layers of flavour, cassis and black cherry underpinned by mulberry and redcurrant. The tannins give backbone but feel ripe the mid palate is supple then towards the back the red fruits have more influence refreshing and bringing out the spices and a leafy quality. 2013-18 Rating: 92 Derek Smedley MW, www.dereksmedleymw.co.uk (Dec 2013)
