See Tim Atkin's review of the 2008 vintage below:
'Jeremy Walker mostly uses purchased grapes to make this Stellenbosch Cabernet, although there is also some fruit from his own farm. Savoury, earthy and a little feral, this is a traditional style that will appeal to people who like the wines made by López de Heredia in Rioja. Wonderfully complex, it's a red that eschews simple fruit flavours. Drink 2019-23' - Tim Atkin MW, SA Special Report 2019, 94/100

| Producer information | Shortly after establishing Grangehurst in 1992, Jeremy Walker, the original Young Gun, produced the now-famous 1993 which was the first-ever Winemag 5-star wine. Never wavering from his traditional approach, Jeremy has established Grangehurst’s reputation for long-ageing, classically-styled wines. |
