Quite good for a dry, balanced red. Paired excellently with The Heat (2013) starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. — 8 months ago

I have a good story to go with this wine. So my brother is working at the Embassy in Nairobi right now. I sent him a picture of some wines I bought including this one. He sent me a picture back and he had the same wine. Good wine minds think alike!! This wine is excellent! Very smooth, dark fruit, a little earthy at first, 14.5% alcoholic content. Will enjoy by the pool this evening with my book! Cheers! — 4 years ago

When you can find a non- Bretty South African wine, savor it fully, this terroir is multifaceted.
One of my favorite stories grapes - The Pinotage - a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault, created around 100 years ago,so that SAfrica could have a grape varietal of their own.
A nose of elegant pipe tobacco, bright cherry, gooseberry and light tannin. A nice Pinotage for the uninitiated.

Damn good pinotage. The pinot parentage is quite apparent with this one. Sleek and elegant, it hides its 14% ABV very well. Flavors of red fruit and chocolate mingle to create a swath of sweetness that glides across the tongue. This is a well-made bottle of wine. 100% Pinotage. 12/19/21. — 4 years ago

This is a solid quaffable #pinotage at an affordable price. I’ve blind tasted it about three times in flights with other reds from around the world and it has performed well. #southafricanwine #southafrica — 5 years ago

Finally found something we like more than Wairau River. Flavor is very simular, but Zynsy-pops-alot thinks it’s easier to drink. I agreed. — 6 months ago

Direct from SA. Delightful. Takes me back to the tasting rooms. Oaky, pepper, tobacco nose, deep blackcurrant, blackberries, peppery undertones and warmth, oaky in the mouth, lovely finish for something as light as a Pinotage. Really rate it. — 4 years ago
Fabulously surprising! This wine is one of those warm robust bear humans who wraps you in a hug that doesn’t smother you, it frees you. It’s fresh. Oodles of dark berries and plums plus vanilla and a very herbal earthy thing and something like leather. So very very good. — 5 years ago
One of my all time favourites. Good with any red meat. — 6 years ago
