The Grinder Pinotage 2018
Western Cape, South AfricaIf at first, you don't succeed… is the story of the latest Grinder. We have been tough on this wine for years, and while it's hardly a superstar, the intense smoky coffee bean character is gone, the tannins have softened, and the fruit, while still ripe and sweet by dry wine standards, makes this the best-balanced Grinder I have tasted. A barbecue/ hamburger red, you can drink this now. Finished under screwcap.Tasted: 13 April 2021Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $13.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
