Flavorful, uncomplicated Pinotage showing good depth of fruit with solid berry and tart cherry flavors. Leather and metallic notes creep in towards the finish, but don’t predominate. A good basic version of this South African Pinot Noir-Cinsault hybrid. ——M.M.(7/1/2004)—— 85

This light- to medium-weight red is an interesting marriage of grapes. The palate feel is soft and the fruit sweet, yet dry, with the Pinotage’s (78%) earthy rusticity offsetting the neo-Australian jamminess of the Shiraz (22%). The finish of this fairly unique easy drinker turns more brisk, with more of the dry fruit and earth, plus some pepper notes and mildly tangy tannins. —M.M.——M.S.(4/1/2002)—— 85
