Pinotage
South Africa
2013
$5.95
Robert Parker: A disclaimer: I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this 2013 Pinotage from Indwe, named after the country's national bird, the blue crane, comes across like a light Pinot Noir. Subtle notes of cherries, spice and forest floor are followed by a round, light to medium-bodied, pure, seductive, well-crafted wine. Drink now-2016
Color: deep red
Smell: cherry, blackberry
Taste: oakey, cherry, a bit of vanilla
Personal rating - Great! I'm a big fan of oakey, vanilla wines. This one was well-rounded in that sense.
