Tasting- Eikeboom Pintoage

Name: Eikeboom Pinotage

Variety: 100% Pinotage

Region: Western Cape

Country: South Africa

Year: 2015

Price: $6.95

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." From: Wine & Spirits via Vintage Cellar

My review: This wine was very fruity both in smell and taste. I mainly could identify cherry and dark berry, maybe black berry or black currant. Although this was a dry wine, the fruitiness made it sweet. I also tasted some earthy elements and it was a little bit spicy. It was fairly tannic but not too bold or full-bodied. 

Food Pairing: I did not drink this with food.
