Wine Shop Review: "A disclaimer: I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this 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 that should drink well for a year or so."
My Review: This wine smelled tannic, with notes of violet and lavender. It tasted tannic but not harsh, with earthy, plant-esque notes that balanced nicely.
I had this wine alone without food.
