Pinotage came out top at a blind tasting of the Williamsburg chapter of the American Wine Society last month.
Debra Gordon writes in Virginia's Newport News "We tasted four reds blind, so we didn't know what they were or how much they cost. When the bags the votes were tallied, the classic South African varietal — Pinotage — came out a clear winner.We love Pinotage. It has a flavor unlike any other I've tasted — funky, complex, yet amazingly fruity. Turns out the rest of our group loved it, too.
The 2006 Pinotage ($14) we tasted came from Avondale, an organic winery located in the Paarl region.
One member described it as 'the trouble wine,' as in: 'the wine that will get you in trouble because you want to keep drinking glass after glass.'"
