Bright peach, strawberry taffy, green peppercorn-tart-spice. Background of charred, bitter grapefruit rind. Refreshing , interesting peach-pink in color.

Huge day of tasting in Stellenbosch, so no complete tasting notes; high acid, tart strawberries and red currant

A Pinot trifecta: Noir, Meunier and Pinotage, the South African grape. The wine bubbles up vigorously, but the festive nature disappears quickly. The nose is earthy, but fairly muted in that respect and in that of the red fruit. Palate-wise, the wine disappoints a bit. It does have a tasty, savory flavor and a nice shot of acidity, but I wanted a little more fruit expression. Maybe I should stop complaining and just enjoy what is a thoroughly drinkable, but slightly underwhelming bubbly.
