Winery Review: “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.My Review: I first detected scents of both floral and spice. I smelt the scent of cloves and other spices similar to those used in like a pumpkin pie. My impression on the taste of this wine is the following: very spicy, very smooth, and very dry. The spice was overpowering though and left an unpleasant taste in my mouth. Overall, this was my least favorite sample of the day.
