Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Black cherry, mocha and cola on the nose, followed by a balanced, bright array of red and black berries give this wine a fun, easy-drinking character. Good overall structure and length, with a smoky finish. The wine is a great everyday red choice.

A delighful, alluring white with aromas of orange, lemon and honey, and creamy honey and white fruit flavirs on the palate. The elegant waves of flavor are balanced by some acidity, but the mouthfeel is still luxuriant. It all ends with a spicy flair. Pair with creamy cheeses, poultry, salads.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This lively, balanced Pinotage offers the vivid spice and rich banana and plum fruit for which Pinotage is known, in an exuberant, approachable package. Plum and red berry, tobacco smoke and warming spice offer big but elegant favors. Cellarworthy, but can be drunk now. Pair with lamb, game, spicy cuisine.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The Deetlef starts with aromas of red berry, plum, pepper and dark chocolate, leading into fresh flavors of red berry, pepper and spice. The acid is pronounced and keeps the flavors clean and lively, and the finish spicy. An assertive Pinotage with aging potential.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Concentrated and a bit reduced with aromas of chocolate sauce-drizzled raspberries, balsamic glaze and woody spice. Lush dark fruit abounds in the round mouth with medium dusty tannins providing a fine sandpaper texture. The flavors of all-fruit preserves and black plum transition to a kick of spice on the finish. Drink now.
