Tasting - "Indwe Pinotage"

Name: Indwe
Variety: Pinotage
Region: South Africa
Country: South Africa
Year: 2013
Sale Price: $5.95
Regular Price: $12

Winery Notes:
“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 review:
This red wine had a savory smell that reminded me of a campfire. The wine was smooth, yet dry with oaky undertones. I tasted it without food, but enjoyed it and would be interested in pairing it with food in the future.
