Very smooth, hint of cherry, spice, not too sweet

This is a great cool-climate pinotage that has loads of dark fruits and an incredibly smooth finish and velvety mouthfeel. Come to think of it, I'm actually getting a lot of super ripe strawberries up in this glass. I'll have another.

A deep purple red wine with a medium nose of cherry, plum and blackberry with oak.

A dry wine, medium acid, medium plus alcohol, full bodied with soft round tannins - quite plush mouthfeel. Taste follows the nose with chocolate, vanilla and dark fruit.

An enjoyable wine that would be everyday but for the price.

Dry with just the right amount of tannins. Dark berries and a little spice

Rich, fruity and velvety flavor. Only 9.0 because the nose is that of a lower quality wine for some reason.

First pinotage. Goodbye wine for 12 weeks. Acidic and light. Fruity but hard to find. Good
