Long-time winemaker Beyers Truter still advises here, but Abrie Beeslaar is now in charge.Kanonkop's version of pinotage is consistently one of South Africa's elite examples of this variety, supplementing its smoky cinsault heritage with the sappy mid-palate fruit demanded by today's international wine market.Kanonkop's flagship Paul Sauer cuvee, which spends two full years in all new barrels, is one of the Cape's handful of world-class Bordeaux blends and is also a satisfyingly modern take on a classic style.Vintage 2001 is a strong one here, but Beeslaar notes that it will require time to integrate its oak.
