Natalie's Score: 91/100

So savoury, juicy and meaty -- layers of pleasure. This WO-designated wine is smooth, smoky and delicious with full-bodied layers of fleshy black plums. Amazingly great price for the quality. This wine is a blend that leads with cabernet sauvignon, but also includes shiraz and merlot grapes. Just enough toasty oak aging to bring this whole delicious package together. Good finish. Try it tonight with meat lovers pizza.

Food pairings: roast beef, Porchetta, slow-cooked venison ribs.

Reviews and Ratings

Triptych (2014) from the Western Cape in South Africa is a full-bodied red blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Shiraz, 13% Malbec, 8% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc. This wine was aged for 14 months in oak barrels. KWV, the company behind Cathedral Cellar, was founded by South African wine farmers in 1918 - the year Nelson Mandela was born - and has been a central part of that country's wine history ever since. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
