Solid, straight-ahead, and amply oaked, this Pinotage keeps the tart berry fruit focused and the funky earth note under control. There’s plenty of espresso and even some intriguing mint notes here. Finishes fairly long with tangy tannins, great for grilled meats.

A fully purple wine unleashes dark aromas of leather and black olive, while in the mouth those two flavors dominate. The palate is nice enough—full-bodied with sweet tannins and moderate acidity—but wants more fruit. Imported by Vineyard Brands.

Superbly full and heady, the ripe black plum and dark raspberry notes mingle seamlessly with accents of spiced cigar tobacco and graham cracker crumbs throughout. The mouthfeel could use a bit more heft, but the finish is clean and satisfying. Balanced, soft and ready to drink now.

Grass, lime, even asparagus notes show in this decidedly Kiwi-inspired Sauvignon Blanc. Lean and tangy to the max.

A perfect summer wine, this Sauvignon Blanc offers a combination of cheerful citrus and fruit and a flinty minerality that keep it dry and clean on the palate. Paired with seafood, it’s even better.

The mouthfeel of this wine is so full and weighty that one might never guess that it’s a South African Sauvignon Blanc. On the nose, glimmers of baby powder and chamomile mingle with soft notes of honeydew rind and crisp apple. The limey finish seals the deal nicely, like a comforting signature.

From the esteemed Pinot, Pinotage and Chardonnay producer Hamilton Russell, this vibrant SB starts with gooseberry, fresh-cut herbs and spicy pepper on the nose, and on the palate, citrus. Gooseberry and lemon peel. Has a richer character than many South African SB’s. Complex and unfolding.

This approachable Pinotage starts with spicebox and smoke aromas and leads into bright cherry and plum flavors spun with spice on the palate. Tannins are smooth and the finish lingering. A good go-to Pinotage.
