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
#pinotage blend. Needs to decant a little. #southafricanwine — 5 years ago
Interesting wine from #southafricanwine #southafrica but #pinotage is an invader grape and it permiates through this blend too much in my opinion. And yet interesting invention and has freshness and texture — 5 years ago

My second bottle of this #malbec #pinotage #cinsault blend - still like it a lot for the price. Blackberry jam, cassis, slight leather, cocoa aroma; less of the nail polish aroma once it airs out. Bitter cocoa, coffee notes along with the fruit and lush acidity and neat tannins fading into a long finish. #wsjwineclub — 4 years ago
I really enjoy the QPR of many different varietals and blends that Spier produces. This #shiraz #pinotage blend pours dark purple. After it opens up a bit, earthy, smoky, laid-back bramble fruit and slight petrol and rubber notes from the Pinotage. Striking acidity, blue/black fruit, some bitter chocolate and coffee with well-behaved tannins all swirled together; clearly a fantastic BBQ wine.

Disappointing. Smells like smoked meat and mezcal. Literally. Iodine and ripe plums. Weird. #pinotage #bordeauxblend #southafricanwine — 5 years ago
Once it’s opened up, this dark #malbec #pinotage #cinsault blend presents a deep well of blackberry and cassis fruit aromas plus a slight nail polish scent which I find pleasant as it’s subtle. Less fruit than you expect on the palate, some cocoa and bitter coffee flavors towards the end trailed by soft light tannins; juicy acidity throughout. Yum! #wsjwineclub — 5 years ago

I’m not such a #pinotage fan but #neilellis is a great producer and this is a great expression. #southafricanwine — 2 years ago
