Shop/Critic/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."

My Impressions:

Dark fruit. Leather. Pleasant, but simple.  I think maybe my nose was stuffy when I tasted this, because based on the tasting notes, I feel like I should have gotten a lot more out of it.  I didn't find it particularly interesting or memorable.
