Name: Indwe
Varietal: Pinotage

Year: 2013
Price: $12
Winery review: Robert Parker
“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.
Personal review: On the nose I got hints of raisins and tobacco. The front of this was very light, with subtle hints of plum. On the mid palate I tasted mocha notes and I got a tart, cherry finish that did not linger for too long. This wine would pair well with a light dessert; the little hints of spice and mocha would do well with anything chocolate-y.
