Neil Ellis Cabernet Sauvignon/Merlot 2002 - 86 points
'A 61 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 39 percent Merlot black beauty with some intriguing tart berry, Indian spices, popcorn and licorice whiffs on the nose. It's quite dark, adding espresso and smoke on the palate and a very dry, briskly tannic finish.'

Neil Ellis Groenekloof Sauvignon Blanc 2003 - 88 points
'Starts with soft ripe melon, pear and tropical fruit notes. Turns crisper and more typically Sauvignon Blanc on the tongue, where satisfying grapefruit flavors show classic herb and pepper accents and a fairly full yet crisp feel.'

Neil Ellis Stellenbosch Chardonnay 2003 - 89 points (Editors Choice)
'Classy, dry Chardonnay with an angular flint-smoke-lime bouquet. There's ample oak here, and the fruit is present but quite reigned-in, with a crisp palate feel similar to Chablis. Tasty, long, and drinkable now, this will benefit from a year in the bottle.'
