Pinotage – 2011; Flat Creek Estate; Marble Falls, Texas


This South African varietal will certainly add a new twist to your cellar’s appeal. This rustic cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault provides those deep earthy notes while still offering bold fruit flavor. For Flat Creek’s 2011 vintage, not only has it aged quite well, but the earthy undertones and unique fruit flavors have complimented each other beautifully. Letting this bottle sit for a good hour to fully open will do justice for this full-bodied wine. It is rich in blueberry and cherry notes with just a touch of vanilla.  The tannins linger and linger and still entice. This bottle paired nicely with a baked chicken and root vegetables but will pair with any number of meats and cheeses. Of course, you can always just enjoy it by the glass all by itself and you will not be disappointed. Enjoy!
