Delicious enough, but it is missing a bit of the funk I remember from years ago. Very polished with none of the gamey/weedy notes that used to make it truly unique. I suppose most folks only like the fruit qualities of wine anyway.

They seem to be doing good things for locals in terms of employment as well. Worth supporting.

OK, but not as good as the Arabella. It's odd to find a wine with more back of mouth taste than front.

Medium bodied, dark berries with lingering tannins. Best after it breathes.

Lush, ripe fruit; a hint of smoke. Soft but not flabby. No band-aid funk. Best inexpensive Pinotage I've had to date. Paired well with a supreme pizza.

100% Pinotage. Inky red/black color with with bright hints. Unwooded, with the palate and nose offering up huge dollops of ripe berry fruit, richness, and a delicious fruit concentration.
