Wine Critic Review: Robert Parker
“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 smelled hints of plum, blackberry and cherries. The wine had a bit of an oaky taste and a little spice to it. This was not a bitter wine and had a very smooth finish. I did not taste this wine with food.
