The 2022 Are We There Yet, Savage's Touriga National/Syrah blend, is fermented with 10% whole clusters with two weeks on the skins, matured in 500-liter French oak casks. This has a fragrant bouquet, harmonious, with blackberry, violet, iris flower and just a touch of potpourri. The palate is medium-bodied with superb concentration and very pure, partly because Duncan Savage sacrificed 40% of the fruit because of some sun damage. It's almost crystalline towards the finish. The Touriga is not as communicative as the Syrah, yet it sways this cuvee in a wonderful direction with a very precise finish ranking amongst the best that I tasted during my trip to the Cape. Outstanding.

A blend of 67% syrah and 33% touriga nacional from bush vines planted along the Breede River, this shows cracked pepper, paprika and dried herbs on the nose, along with dark cherries and mushrooms. Creamy, silky and medium- to full-bodied with a long and peppery finish. Drink or hold.

Created from a blend of 67% Shiraz and 33% Touriga Nacional, the 2022 Are We There Yet is red-fruited with a spicy and meaty essence that sways with a kiss of sea spray and dusty cherry blossom. Medium-bodied and with 13.2% alcohol, the palate is spicy with delightful notes of potpourri before displaying spicy salami with cranberry notes over the long, lingering finish. This year, it's bigger and beefier as the Syrah drives the expression. Give it a try. Just under 2,000 bottles were produced from 10% whole-cluster grapes.
