The Pepper Pot, 2009, Edgebaston, Finlayson Family Vineyards
Aromas of earthy black fruits, spice, leather and pepper lead in to a palate of rich, smooth and concentrated flavours. Mulberry and mixed berries are perfectly matched against the spice and pepper that is evident but not overpowering. A delightful nuance of smokiness is also evident, a classic sign of South African wine.
Tannins are medium and not grippy which makes for a smooth wine that is very moreish indeed. For this reason it can be enjoyed during and then after the meal as you laze on the sofa.
A brilliantly balanced wine that punches well above its weight. At £9.99 a bottle this wine is a right little stonker! Lovely.
