Really lovely bottle for the bucks, and could stand it’s own among a more expensive bubbly. (Also love the magnum here.) Smells of sourdough yeast and baked apple. Plenty of lemon and brioche. Has a creamy feel too. Lots of beautiful bubbles. Ends with a nice dry finish. — 3 years ago

First thing: much earthier than I anticipated. Don’t get me wrong, there’s plenty of ripe fruit: lemon 🍋, pineapple 🍍, and apricot 🍑. But before the fruit, there’s smoky minerality 💨 and dried thyme 🌱 followed by hazelnut. 🌰

Medium ruby color. Aromas of cherry, cranberry and rose petals. Very good Pinot overall, red fruit on the palate, baking spice and black tea.

We had the 2015 Vintage on 9/25-26/23. A real good Bordeaux blend. No need to spend the big bucks on Dominus when quality wine like this comes in at a more reasonable price. — 3 years ago

Bought this as an afterthought and quite pleased that I did. It's complex and rich, with blackcurrant/plum fruit, cedary oak and soft tannins all on the same page. Great value. — 5 years ago

Dark ruby coloration. On the nose, sweet blueberry and vanilla, currant and toasted oak. Hints of Creme brûlée. On the palate, medium- full bodied with a nice richness and body to it. Blueberry, dark berry and vanilla with forest floor, oak and must. Long finish of the same. Very nice blend. — 6 years ago

Kanonkop knows Pinotage and they are experts at creating a Pinotage that can age for 20-30 years. You wouldn’t necessarily expect that for a grape that is a a crossing between a Pinot Noir and a Hermitage (an old name for Cinsault). This one was 13 years old and we still had to tame it down when it came out of the bottle. After about an hour of decanting the oak flavors of rich cigar and leather had well integrated with the earthy dark red, almost jammy, fruit. A full bodied, complex wine with lingering finish was created that disappeared way too fast. Follow us on www.spokenwines.com with an upcoming story about a winery that uses the Pinotage grape to make very unique rose that is out of this world. — 2 years ago
