2004 Stanford Hills Winery Walker Bay Pinotage 86 Points

2004 Stanford Hills Jackson’s Pinotage Walker Bay 86 Points

Brilliant cherry red, subtle nose of ripe plums with hints of coffee, very clean and pure, almost a Burgundian elegance to it.
Spicy, quite rich, clean soft ripe tannins, lots of freshness, well structured, almost a Pinot Noir feel.
There is a trait emerging in Walker Bay Pinotage, they showcase the Pinot side, more feminine, rather than the coarse Cinsaut profile and this is very exciting
Now until 2015.
