Simonsberg Stellenbosch Pinotage 2010

Colour is a very dark crimson with a tawny rim developing. Savoury southern Rhone type aromas of Loam and Tobacco showing more Cinsault than Pinot Noir. Pinotage is regarded as South Africa’s signature variety and is a hybrid of Pinot Noir and Cinsault. Little oak influence on the palate with such savoury dirty flavours it’s almost Bretty but will give the benefit of the doubt. I had a 2013 of this wine a few years ago which showed more black berry fruits than this 2010 now. Kanonkop (note the embossed cannon on the glass bottle ) was one of the first properties to plant Pinotage. I bought this bottle in Stellenbosch in 2013. @David T Iknow David Trumper is over there at the moment and would recommend this wine. — 7 years ago

@Jan Alma I will keep an eye out Jan but South African wines in Australia are as rare as Hens Teeth. Hopefully that will change one day.

@Bob McDonald @Jan Alma Excellent visit and tasting with Heidi at Kanonkop. She is as good as they come. Tasted through the line up, some library & the 17 Black Label; which I picked up! So good! 👌

Puffin Brand

Oregon Pinot Gris

A wine from one of many stops while on an Oregon-Washington themed wine cruise. I was pleasantly surprised by the 2015 Puffin Oregon Pinot Gris made by Ray Walsh, former winemaker at King Estate. King Estate's jewel is their Pinot Gris, and this unlikely label sold in an equally unlikely place—proprietor Steven Sinkler sells Puffin from his bespoke shop, The Wine Shack in touristy Cannon Beach—bears the same fingerprint, the same regal pedigree. At least, it's as regal, I think, as Pinot Gris can be. Dappled aromas of white flowers, dewy pear, Granny Smith apple, and lemon zest. And akin to King Estate wines, it's beautifully balanced with sur lie aging lending structure to vivid acidity and talcy minerality. Bravo! — 9 years ago
