Dark ruby red color, some purple edges, with aromas of dark fruits and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of plum and blackberry with cinnamon spice. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit and spice. Drink now!

Despite my drinking group being vehemently opposed to all things pinotage, I was able to open this bottle up for everyone to try. Acetone and hard boiled eggs on the nose but a surprising amount of red and black fruits on the palate give this wine some complexity to add to its easy acidity but hot finish.

A nice estate grown Pinotage, and drinking well for a 2013. More on the fruity side, reflecting its Pinot Noir roots, this would be a good introduction to the Pinotage grape.

Holy smokes. Smelled a bit barnyard but didn't taste any of that. Suuuper smokey, tobacco, and leather.

Developing some nice coffee and hazelnut components. Very soft textures at this point

dark red, a little brown undertones, very nice dark fruit bouquet, soft on the tongue, maybe some cherry or black plum
