Founded in 1997, Vilafonté is a joint Californian-South African venture between Zelma Long (ex-Mondavi winemaker), Phil Freese (also ex-Mondavi) and South African wine entrepreneur Mike Ratcliffe, who together seek to create Cape blends which stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the world`s finest red wines.
Vilafonté Series C 2021 is a full-bodied Bordeaux blend produced in the Paarl region of South Africa`s Western Cape. A blend of 57% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26% Merlot, 10% Malbec, and 7% Cabernet Franc, the Series C was matured in French oak barrique (74% new) for 22 months. Only Sixty-seven barrels were produced.

Robert Parker
Flirting with triple digits, the 2021 Series C is constructed of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Still incredibly tight yet exuding that special “it” factor, the red blend is layered with gorgeous dark red and succulent black fruit tones with gobs of attractive oak essences that sway with power and finesse. If you`re a cult California Cabernet collector, you`ll want to add this to your cellar as fast as possible. Just under 20,000 bottles rested for about two years in French oak barrels, 81% new. It`s utterly profound. - Anthony Mueller
