Winery Review: “A disclaimer: I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this 2013 Pinotage from Indwe, named after the country's national bird, the blue crane, comes across like a light Pinot Noir. Subtle notes of cherries, spice and forest floor are followed by a round, light to medium-bodied, pure, seductive, well-crafted wine.” Drink now-2016. Robert Parker.

My Review: This wine smelled like cherries. I found it to be extremely bitter and hard to drink. I did not enjoy this wine at all. I also got hints of oak from this dark red wine.

I tasted this wine with no food.
