Tasting - Eikeboom

This was the fourth wine I tasted at Vintage Cellar.

Name: Eikeboom
Varietal: Pinotage
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $6.95

Online Review: Online reviews of this wine describe it as "The Eikeboom Pinotage tastes like a cross of Pinot Noir and Zinfandel. It has some finesse and some power all together. It is juicy, fruity, new world Rhone style fruit bomb with a touch of oak, vanilla and coffee flavors. There is a good minerality as well, giving some lead pencil notes, quite delicious. 

My Review: I was not particularly fond of this wine. I could smell some of the oak and coffee flavors described online. To me, it tasted very rich and heavy. It was a bit too dark for my personal liking. Overall not horrible, but definitely not my favorite wine and I would probably not get it again.
