Tasting - Eikeboom Pinotage

Name: Eikeboom Pinotage 2015
Variety: Pinotage
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $17

Winery Review: This dark-colored 2015 possesses cranberry and cherry richness intermixed with some spice box, earth and herbs. It is fresh, medium-bodied and could be served chilled if readers desire, given its Beaujolais-like weight and texture.

My Review: This wine was unique from the others in this tasting. It is a very sweet wine that tasted like blackberry and cherries. It is earthy with a strong, herbal smell and a full body. When swirled in the glass, it has lots of legs and seems rich. This was my least favorite wine as it was too dark for my taste.

I tasted this wine without food.
