South African Wine + Surf Trip; 5/17/2014-6/1/2014 (Western Cape, South Africa): Kind of smells like someone threw plums and black currants on a barbecue pit, also some sweet red licorice and rose notes. Shows some medium-grain tannins, medium acid. Flavors of plum skins, black cherries, tart but also sweet, with smoky, gamey accents. I get a kind of roasted chestnut component along with charcoal. Not complicated, but fun and easy to drink. Would be good with grilled foods.
