Heiner Lobenberg om:
Cornerstone 2021

94+
/100

Bouqueten er ekstremt animerende. Syltede peberfrugter, derefter tørret timian, oliven og brombær. Minder næsten om Cornas i sin kraft og dybde. Dyb sort frugt i munden, fine, ja, sandede tanniner. En struktur med medium syre. Alt dette er meget gribende og mørkt i smagen, men uden indflydelse fra træ. Krydret, dyb, uden animalske toner. En bøfvin par excellence. Kvaliteten til prisen er fremragende, ærligt talt har nogle franske vine det svært.

Decanter om: Cornerstone

Johan Reyneke’s Cornerstone project was set up to direct the profits from the sales of this label into providing housing, education and opportunities for the black workers on the estate’s Polkadraai farm. A philosophy graduate, Reyneke’s motto is ‘there can be no greatness without goodness’. The cool 2021 vintage blend is based on 58% Cabernet Franc and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, biodynamically farmed, wild fermented and aged for 18 months in new 225-litre French oak barrels for the Cabernet Sauvignon and used oak for the Cabernet Franc. Jason Millar: Hints of caper and sage on a nose of blackcurrant. Chiselled, and bone dry, with fine, chalky tannins framing vibrantly juicy fruit. Lovely bite and texture. Roger Jones: Juicy, fresh, forward appeal with sage and violet, along with some spicy fresh notes, ripe berries with vanilla spice. I like the focus and linear mineral notes here, and the lovely, savoury lamb-juice finish. Victoria Mason MW: Dried floral, leafy and spicy fragrance. Freshness, purity and bite – focused, with masses of energy, lots of chalky tannins. Superb, but still needs time.

Tim Atkin om: Cornerstone

Cornerstone is the odd one out at Reyneke in a sense, as it’s made from Cabernet Francand 42% Cabernet Sauvignon rather than Syrah, but it's no longer the poor relation of the winery's other two reds. Showing impressive freshness and minerality, it's less firm wooded than it has been, with graphite and green salad aromas, lots of youthful energy and layers of cassis, incense and black cherry. 2025-35

Galloni om: Cornerstone

The 2021 Cornerstone includes less Cabernet Franc and more Cabernet Sauvignon than previous vintages because the milder 2021 vintage favored the latter. Very perfumed again on the nose, this is beautifully defined. The new oak (only applied to the Cabernet Sauvignon) is neatly integrated, with touches of blue fruit and black pepper emerging with time. There’s a sense of symmetry and focus here, culminating in a Pomerol-inspired, graphite-tinged finish that boasts just the right amount of austerity.

Suckling om: Cornerstone

Aromatic, showing wild blueberries, nutmeg, sandalwood and sweet paprika on the nose. It’s full-bodied and fleshy with delicious sweet-spice character to the ripe fruit. Chewy finish. A blend of 58% cabernet franc and 42% cabernet sauvignon. From biodynamically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink or hold.
