New vintage, got a smoking deal on this old fave (for a supermarket red). Garnet red, medium pigment extraction. Raspberry, cooked meat and flower aromas on nose. Raspberry and blackberry flavors, slightly tart, some wood, vanilla and astringency on finish. Seems light on the alcohol; call it a “session Pinotage”. An under appreciated varietal, and a decent enough iteration here.
