Shop/wine critic/winery review:
An
unusual style of Pinotage with complex aromas of black pepper, smoke, tomato,
and dark fruit. The palate is packed with ripe mixed berry flavors, making this
unoaked red wine a real crowd-pleaser.

Wow. This had a pepper and smoke nose that really intrigued me. As soon as I tasted it I imagined a big meaty tomato that had been rolling around in dirt. Not a beautiful image, but that was the wine. The gentlemen at the Vintage Cellar informed me that Pinotage is an engineered grape that has a particular taste. I don't think I am a fan. Still fantastic to try.
