Winery Review: Parker
has yet to review the 2015 vintage but said in the past..
“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: The
aroma was very jammy, full of notes of toffee and blackberries. The wine was hot and dry, with heavy tannins. Components of cherries and raspberries were
most prominent in this wine. This wine
would pair well with a nice steak.
