A vertical tasting of de Trafford Cabernet Sauvignon from 1993 to 2005 revealed that the 1993 vintage was still both tasty and ripe. The de Trafford Shiraz 2008 was named South African Red Wine of the Year by Platter in 2011 and has garnered international acclaim, including 92 points from Wine Advocate for the 2007 de Trafford Shiraz, as well as 90 points for the 2006 de Trafford Elevation 393, 2010 de Trafford Chenin Blanc and 2008 de Trafford Blueprint Shiraz.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eThe famous wines of Pomerol in Bordeaux, France, are almost entirely Merlot, such as Le Pin and Chateaux Petrus, which sell for thousands of rand per bottle.
