A fruitier style pinotage. Very fresh (still). Strawberry, celery, and a hint of banana. Will age another 10yrs gracefully.

If I could only drink this red wine for the rest of my life I’d be happy. Bought back from SA. Now to find a UK supplier....

Thick. Dark fruit. Good tannins and earthy flavors. Blindfolded I would think this was a Syrah.

And again- reviewing this vintage after 6 years. Wonderful aroma, but delivers a little less. Still great fruit driven, with great balance.
