Vilafonte Series C 2014 is a blend of 49% Cabernet Sauvignon, 38% Merlot, and 13% Malbec, aged for 22 months in 70% new French oak. The wine exhibits a deep ruby hue, with an aroma characterised by blackcurrant, plum, and subtle hints of oak. On the palate, it presents a structured profile, showcasing ripe berry flavours, alongside notes of earthy minerals and spice. The tannins are firm, indicating potential for further development, while the finish reveals a touch of mocha. Vilafonte, a notable winery in South Africa, focuses on establishing distinct terroir-driven wines.

Bright, moderately saturated ruby-red. Resiny oaky high tones to the aromas of cassis, graphite and bitter chocolate. Plush, pliant dark berry flavors show a menthol reserve along with lovely ripeness and depth of texture. Serious, broad, dusty but suave tannins are nicely buffered by fruit on the long, supple back end. This Bordeaux blend fills the mouth without coming off as heavy. It already demonstrates a pleasing balance but should probably be forgotten in the cellar for at least five or six years. Finishes with a late chocolate note and hints of licorice and minerals. A bit youthfully medicinal.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2017
