89 pts Wine Advocate August 2011
A blend of 73% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre, 8% Cinsault, 4% Carignan and 2% Grenache, the 2009 Kloof Street Rouge is sourced from 10-15 year old vines. The nose is very pure and ebullient with blackberry and cassis fruit that is succinct and defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannins, ripe blackberry, boysenberry and a citrus edge lending the finish sharpness and definition. This is very well crafted and offers great value. Drink now-2015.
