| 2007 Spice Route Pinotage Winery: Spice Route Vintage: 2007 Wine Name/Vineyard: Wine Category: Pinotage Grape blend: 100% Pinotage Region: Coastal Region State or country: South Africa Price: $23 Cases produced: 3,000 KWG Score: 89.5 (based on 4 reviews) Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (87) Review date: June 15, 2009 Wine Review: This dark ruby colored offering from Spice Route is a Very Good introduction into Pinotage and the stylistic approach of most South African red wines. This wine opens with the classic smoky oak and light cherry like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced, and juicy. The flavor profile is an oak infused black cherry. The finish is dry and it’s very noticeable tannins are a little puckery and quite prolonged. This rustic styled wine will appeal to Old World fans. You can pair it with a nice hearty beef stew. Enjoy - Ken Winemaker Notes: Perfumed plum aromas with subtle oak and spice notes. The palate is medium bodied to full bodied, with rich, blackberry fruit flavours. Aromas follow through to full lingering finish. Tannin and fruit are in good balance and the wine shows characteristic Swartland style. Organic status: not organic Buy it: Use 1000 Corks to find stores that sell Spice Route 2007 Pinotage.
