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
1st bottle of the nite was corked. 2d bottle was a relief, as this wine is still drinking surprisingly well. That said, it may be on borrowed time. Rich, deep color with only very minor shading on the rim. Kinda deceptive. Good nose. Soft, but thins quickly on the palate. Fruit is barely discernible. Think flagstone porch or gravel driveway on a rainy day... and you still get some of the backbone (albeit slightly osteoporotic??). Time to drain this if you got it, because the ferryman will be taking this one shortly. — 6 years ago

A very enjoyable post skiing red to chill out of an evening over. A consistent quality that is highly enjoyable. — 7 years ago
Loved this!! Really impressed. It has real fullness and body, and interest without the overly floral top notes of some viogniers. A bit like a bild sauv blanc. I will def buy this again. — 4 years ago
