Tons of dark cherry with supporting notes of rhubarb, currants, and green pepper. Great ripeness and structure without the typical off putting vegetal characteristics.

Plush, with layers of berry fruit, good structure, and no off-putting Pinotage weirdness.

This is a well balanced wine. Very tasty. Great pairing with biltong and a savory pie.

Schist grown, south facing slopes, fairly ripe, but clean as a whistle - too big for casual sipping, needs grilled meats.
