Ernie Els
南非艾爾斯典藏紅酒
此酒是由首席釀酒師Louis Strydom根據Ernie Els和Jean Engelbrecht對品質的堅持所釀造出的獨特佳釀，而選擇以五種波爾多葡萄品種作為組合，反映出Stellenbosch此產區風土條件的特殊差異性。
產區：Stellenbosch【位於西開普省(Western Cape)的海岸區(Costal Region)】
釀 酒 師：Louis Strydom
葡萄品種：62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 4% Cabernet Franc, 4% Malbec
氣候：地中海型氣候，年降雨量約650mm。葡萄園座落於Helderberg Mountain北端的斜坡，有助於增添熱帶水果風味。在夏季，因葡萄園鄰近大西洋，涼爽的海風可調節氣溫，延長葡萄熟成的時間，更能增添細膩的風味。
土壤：深紅色已風化分解的花崗岩土與一小部份的黏土。
釀造：於300公升的法國橡木桶中培養20個月，於裝瓶後再放置18個月熟成。此酒擁有醇厚濃郁的特質，具有儲存收藏的潛力。
酒質特性：明亮深沉的寶石紅色。香氣以紅醋栗、黑醋栗、洋李的果香調為主，混合紫羅蘭、黑橄欖並帶有些許的香草和香料氣味。令人愉悅的水果味道，柔軟的礦物觸感，伴隨著橡木氣息，具有完美的單寧結構。中味可感受出此酒絕佳的複雜度與高雅的特性，餘韻悠長。
酒精成分：14.5度
【評 鑑】
2004年份 - Wine Spectator (2007.04.30)：91 points
Well-built, with black currant, bacon, grilled herb, tobacco and fig flavors supported by a good firm structure underneath. Excellent length, with the fruit and spice delivering another wave on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbec and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2009. 3,400 cases made. –JM
2003年份 - Wine Spectator (2005.10.15)：92 points
Very rich, with layers of black currant, fig, black tea, cocoa and tar that pump through from start to finish. Plenty of ripe structure adds length and depth to the dark, rich, meaty finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2008. 440 cases imported. –JM
2002年份 - Wine Spectator (2005.04.30)：91 points
Well-crafted, with dark currant, fig and blackberry fruit supported by notes of coffee, briar, toast and loam. Verges on exotic, but a nice, racy feel to the finish keeps it honest. Outstanding, but not nearly as dense as the two previous vintages. Drink now through 2006. 440 cases imported. –JM
2001年份 - Wine Spectator (2004.02.29)：93 points
Terrific modern-style wine. Confidently rendered with blackberry, black currant and boysenberry fruit that oozes along the palate, while cocoa powder, Lapsang souchong tea, black fig and Kona coffee notes ripple through the finish. Still a bit tight, so cellar. A hair less rich but with more exotic flavors than the debut '00. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. Best from 2005 through 2008. 375 cases imported. –JM
2000年份 - Wine Spectator (2002.12.15)：93 points
Gorgeous, with polished currant, cocoa, boysenberry and toast aromas and flavors, supported by a seamless texture. You almost get lost in the long, dense, yet precise, finish that picks up Lapsang souchong tea leaf and black fig notes. A sleek thoroughbred of a wine, and the best I've had yet from this region. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc and Malbec. New joint venture with Jean Engelbrecht, of Rust en Vrede. Drink now through 2007. 1,000 cases made. –JM
