Oracle Pinotage 2014

Name: Oracle

Variety: Pinotage

Country: South Africa

Year: 2014

Price: $8

Bottles Finished: 0 (Tasting Only)





Wine review: An unusual style of Pinotage with complex aromas of black pepper, smoke, tomato, and dark fruit. The palate is packed with ripe mixed berry flavors, making this unoaked red wine a real crowd-pleaser.

My review: Complex bouquet, one I could not fully understand. I could only derive aromas of jam and blackberry with slight nuances of rubber and even blueberry. Upon sipping, a flare was sent up my nostrils. Dense dry body of dark berries, with a finish that left a gritty feeling on my teeth.

Rating:
Flush
