Marianne Pinotage 2004 - "run, don't walk"


This is 3rd time I've had the Marianne Pinotage 2004 from South Africa. The first, was tasting it at the vineyard, the next time was from one of the 3 bottles we bought. This last time was also from our small stash. What was I thinking? I've got to run, not walk, to the nearest distributor and buy as much as I can.

I'm not the only one that loves it. It won a ABSA 2007 Top 10 award as well as a Michelangelo 2007 gold medal.

Delicious plum fruits give way to tobacco and earthy mushroom flavors. Silky soft with a small bite of tannins.

    Sounds mighty tasty, great post. SA Wine is becoming more and more hip I think.

    absurd thought -
    your Supreme God says
    never use alcohol...

    or any other drug
    which may influence your mind
