March 8, 2020 - Testalonga is great. Craven is great. Collaboration between the two? Sign me up 12/10 times! Fortunately enough we get to experience the magic of this alliance through our new friend Clint, a blend of single Pinotage barrels made by each party. It’s varietally correct, certainly, but a far cry from those poorly made chewing tobacco/tire fire versions out there; instead, this wine bursts forward with loads of juicy red fruit, tangy tangerine, and a perfectly pleasant level of that expected smoky character. The midpalate is awash with tandoori spices and cedar/resin, while the finish hints at watermelon candy and green peppercorn. A seriously delicious treat! For those who insist they don’t like Pinotage, I dare you to try this and tell me you don’t enjoy the heck out of it.
