Wine Critic Review - Robert Parker
"A disclaimer: I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this 2014 Pinotage from Indwe, named after the country's national bird, the blue crane, comes across like a light Pinot Nior. 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.
My Review - I loved that this wine is a "new" wine from a recently morphed grape, I think that made it even more interesting to me. I smelled raspberry, cherry, strawberry (all of the red fruits), oak and little hint of spice. It was definitely drier taste than I was expecting, but really towards the dark red, delicious fruits and had a smooth finish. I did not try this wine with food.
