Cherry red with slight garnet hue. Clean, crunchy delicately ripe red fruits, cherries, raspberries, strawberry jam, hints of stony/earthy element, subtly oaked, spicy, fresh.
Dry with dash of residual sugar, perfectly ripe, red fruits follows through, full texture, fresh and vibrant, crunchy, lots of energy for a Pinotage, elegant profile, savory with black olives notes, touch briny, with mid palate stuffing adding interest, alcohol is high (14) but integrated, long lenght, persistent.
Perfect now, yet have stamina until 2018+
Will be perfect with grilled venison.
