Tasting Notes
94 points - The 2021 Thief In The Night is a blend of 86% Grenache with Cinsault and Syrah from a vineyard that is the source of Sadie's Soldaat label. It has a lovely bouquet with red cherries, crushed strawberry and rose petal, just a little medicinal thanks to a splash of eucalyptus. The palate is medium-bodied with quite firm grip and density, dark berries and touches of black pepper and graphite, the 10-20% whole bunch guiding the finish. Hints of marmalade on the aftertaste, this Thief will need a couple of years behind bars before being released (from bottle). - Neal Martin, Vinous.com

Duncan Savage is at the top of his game and this shows what South Africa is capable of. To pinpoint one word for these wines it would be purity. Within the wine trade there are few more sought after wines from the New World, and for the price, it represents truly outstanding value.
