November 24, 2021 - This is a wine which paints a distinct picture in soft pastels. many flavors are present, well balanced, again, discernible but as a beautiful swirl of gauzy reality. It belongs on a table for medium weight food.Look to serve it during the fall and winter holiday season, standing as a personable dining companion

June 26, 2021 - Inexperienced with this varietal. I very much enjoyed this representation. Unexpectedly sweet, but not cloying. Light tannin. Fruity entry that will remain on the palate and nose almost indefinitely. First, with pasta and pomodoro and later, a spicy pork chop with herbed brown rice. It is a bit like a strange Tuscan blend. It was fun drinking and exploring this wine.

philmtl Does not like this wine:
July 13, 2018 - Pas aimé du tout. Je connais peu le Pinotage d'Afrique du Sud donc pas certain si c'est le style ou juste cette cuvée. Fumée, c'est capiteux avec un peu de sucre résiduel, pas mal de fruits noirs mais tout est en excès. Pas mon style.
