Reviews and Ratings

Christian Marcoux rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

Red skin plum, black tea, white flowers, pepper and cedar emanate from this Foundation Stone 2014 wine. Produced in the Western Cap region of South-Africa, a crafty blend of Shiraz, Mourvedre, Grenache, Cinsault and Tannat were used to create this full bodied wine. The final work resulted in juicy red cherry, black pepper, cinnamon, and a hint of flint and salt. The level of tannins and the freshness of the acidity give this wine a subtitle short finish. Enjoy.

Christian Marcoux
From South Africa's Western Cape wine region, The Foundation Stone (2014) is a robust and intense red wine blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Cinsault and Tannat. This is one for the cellar -- three to five years to show its best. Decant for two hours and pair with game stews. - Community Wine Reviews
