DtS Rating: 3.5/10 - Definitely Dry
I bought this wine because I had no idea what a Shiraz Pinotage is, but I like Shiraz and I like Pinot Noir and I assumed its some sort of middle ground. I cracked it open and gave it a whiff. I said "Holy shit, whats the alcohol content in this?" and for wine, its kind of high. How does Sebeka describe their wine? Blackberries, dark cherry, and spice of Shiraz with the red berries of Pinotage. So how does it taste? The first thing I said was it was very drinkable. Its not that its bland, its just more like such a combination of flavors, it comes out kinda flat. Weird right? It has some bite to it, but this is just the alcohol content. I'm not sure what to compare it to, maybe a Cabernet? The flavor is inconsistent. Sometimes you get that spicy cherry flavor while other times its very berry-ish and other times it just tastes like a mismash of nothing discernible. I don't know what to make of this wine. It was a bit expensive ($11.99 for 750mL) and it didn't really impress me. So this wine gets a 7.7/10 - might buy for certain occasions, but probably wont.
