Acrid tire rubber (thought it was leather at first, but no) and musty earth on the nose. Kind of nondescript red fruit on the palate. High acidity somewhat saves it here. Better on the palate than the nose. Still some slight rubber on the finish. This does nothing to rehabilitate the reputation of pinotage, to say the least.

Hour decant, this has plenty of character, with dark fruit and earth held up by a very smooth palate of velvety tannins and mild acidity. Don't believe what you have heard about this varietal, if well made, like this one is, it is a very enjoyable drinking experience.

Poolside enjoyment on South Padre Island!!! A bit of chill masks some aromas and flavors but made for pleasant drinking in a Saturday morning — ahem — I mean afternoon!!!!
