I received the 2004 Warwick Pinotage – Old Bush Vines in the mail as part of a Wines.com wine of the month club. This South African wine retails for $23 on their website.
I’ve never been a big fan of Pinotage, although my experience has been limited, and this wine didn’t do anything to change my opinion.
Dark garnet in color with an earthy nose full of underbrush, blackberry, and cigar box. It’s a high alcohol wine at 14.5% and you can taste it. The alcohol overpowers the fuzzy texture and its medium finish.
If you find yourself with a bottle of this wine, it needs big food to go along with it like BBQ as it isn’t much of a pleasure to drink on its own or even with lighter food.
