Drank the last bottle of this tonight. Such a great wine. Full of red fruit upfront with a bit of spice to finish.

Dropped off from the market and no info on the varietals on the label. Brambles and brambles. Low tannin medium low acidity. Blackberry. New oak toasty spice. Do they grow Zinfandel in South Africa?
