Napoli Vineyard Pinotage
My first Pinotage from California!
Showing blue and black fruits with chocolate notes, wood, graphite, light medicine, earth, spices, coffee, tobacco and peppercorn.
Medium bodied with medium acidity.
Nice and easy drinking and a good everyday wine.
Simple and enjoyable by itself.
Nice finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Drink now.

First American Pinotage I've ever had. Tannic. Dark fruits. Hints of South African Pinotage, though not as expressive.
