This rich, ruby-colored red goes in the softer, smoother direction for a Pinotage, making it more appealing to American palates. The dry, spicy Pinotage character is still present, but it’s rounded by a softer, fuller blanket of pretty fruit. Simonsig gets it right and this wine will pair well with grilled meats or can be enjoyed on its own. Hold for aging. Imported by Quintessential Family of Wines, LLC.——S.K.(9/1/2007)—— 88
