Grape Sense (UK) Tasting
August 2006, Tutored by Wine Educator – Neil Courtier.
Flagstone ‘Noon Gun’ White Blend 2005 – Viewed as offering brilliant value
for money.
Flagstone ‘Free Run’ Sauvignon Blanc 2005 – Loire-like, with grapefruit
characteristics & racy acidity.
Jack & Knox ‘Frostline’ Riesling 2005 – A real point of difference here!
Jack & Knox – ‘Green on Green’ Semillon 2004 – For the Semillon lovers /
appreciation society, this was a gem of a wine. Waxy, yet very well balanced
with the acidity & oak perfectly knitted together.
Flagstone ‘Longitude’ Red Blend 2005 – Like Noon Gun, great value with bags
of character.
Flagstone ‘Dragon Tree’ 2004 – Gutsy, yet polished. A very good Cape Blend.
Flagstone ‘Writer’s Block’ Pinotage – More than one taster, said that this
was the best Pinotage that they had come across.
Flagstone ‘The Music Room’ 2003 – Sophisticated red blend, with Bordeaux
style, but South African identity.
Flagstone ‘Mary Le Bow’ 2004 – A real contrast to the previous wine. More
‘European’. A great food wine.
Flagstone Dark Horse Shiraz 2004 – A Chocolate depth, with ripe tannins &
excellent structure.
Jack & Knox ‘The Outsider’ Shiraz 2004 – Very impressive and Rhone-like.
Great structure, totally integrated and with an impressive spicy finish.
