James Suckling: 93 Points
"A perfumed nose of plums, black cherries, violet and paprika. Medium- to full-bodied with lovely ripe red and black fruit. Very steady intensity and depth, with fruit soaked, granular tannins. Pleasantly fresh at the finish. Aged in concrete. Co-fermented on the skins. A blend of 42% shiraz, 36% cinsaut, 13% grenache noir, 6% tinta barocco and 3% touriga nacional. Best after 2024."
Wine Advocate: 93 Points
"Composed mainly of Rhône varieties, the "Kalmoesfontein" 2020 Family Red Blend is smartly made and has aromas of red and black fruit essences, spicy notions and dusty flowers. Medium to full-bodied, the wine opens to complex flavors of pepper, black cherry skin and spice plums before offering a fine mineral tension and balanced structure across the mid-palate. The wine glides to a delightful, mouthwatering finish that has me daydreaming of its multiple food and wine pairing applications. Bravo!"
Vinous Media: 93 Points
"The 2020 AA Badenhorst Red Blend (which now prints the farm name, Kalmoesfontein, on the label) contains eight vineyards all picked together over three days. This is very attractive with blackberry, raspberry, a lovely herbal element and dried violets on the nose. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins, very well balanced, clean and pure with a dash of white pepper on the persistent finish. Superb."
