Here’s the full tasting note for...

Goedverwacht, J & G Cabernet Sauvignon, Robertson 2020

Here's a pure Cape Cabernet, showing a whiff of smokey oak (from eight months in barrel) over black fruit. With lots of flesh, mildly bittersweet black fruit and negligible tannin, it's juicy, vital and approachable. Now-2023

This is the first time we have shipped this wine, a bottling of just nine barrels (so about 3,300 bottles).  The J G on the stands for Jan and Gawie, Du Toit father and son, owners of this (for us) large estate in Robertson, with some 180 hectares of vines. The last fifteen years have seen clear improvements here, with better matching of new plantings to the the site.
