Beyerskloof Pinotage Reserve 2011

Deep purple core with an vibrant ruby red taint.. Enticing upfront presence of blackcurrants, cassis and prunes accompanied by subtle aromas of cedar, spice and charred] mocha on the nose. On the palate this wine has a juicy and voluptuous fruit entry which gives way to a delicate balance between acidity and tannin. A long, lingering finish with a sweet berry and well integrated oak aftertaste.

This wine will pair very well with any red meat or venison dishes, but shouts out for a nice juicy steak.
