John Platter 2008 - 4 stars

Sometimes families have to bear with a black sheep - or a Swartskaap. One who doesn't fit in well with the rest and always moves outside of the herd. He is otherwise and always acts differently. He develops his own character outside of the family and is regarded as an outsider... This wine is exactly as the name suggests: a 'black sheep'. A remarkable wine that stands out on its own, but does not work as a blending component. It also does not promise to present the same variety and style year after year...
