(South Africa) Indwe Pinotage 2013 (email to reserve some now as this is limited!)

Reg. $13.99 Now $7.99 bottle Save 43% No Further Discounts!

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate 87 Points "A disclaimer: I have never cared much for Pinotage, the indigenous South African grape variety, but this 2013 Pinotage from Indwe, named after the country's national bird, the blue crane, comes across like a light Pinot Noir. Subtle notes of cherries, spice and forest floor are followed by a round, light to medium-bodied, pure, seductive, well-crafted wine that should drink well for a year or so. - Robert Parker" RHWB -

Pinotage is a true South African grape variety, it is a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsault.

NEW Beers

Victory Kirsch Gose 4pk/12oz $9.99

Founders Old Curmudgeon Old Ale 4pk/12oz $12.99

Think classic seafaring ports, local pubs and weathered old fishermen. This old ale is brewed with molasses and an insane focus on the malt bill, then oak-aged. The result is a strong, rich, malty delight that's deceptively smooth and drinkable.

Chateau La Lagune Haut Medoc 2009 (3^rd Growth)

Bottle $110       15% off 3+ bottles $93.50 20% off 6+ bottles 88

Wine Spectator 96 Points"Floral and precise fruit, with blackberry-skin character and mineral undertones. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a fresh, clean finish. Long and tight. Racy. Lovely texture. 60 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, 25 percent Merlot and 15 percent Petit Verdot. This property is really on a roll now, delivering racy and structured reds; it gives much more freshness and character to the wine."

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate 95 Points"It is not unusual that the 2009 La Lagune is a spectacular effort given the fact that this estate has been making terrific wines over the last decade or more. It boasts a dense purple color as well as a beautiful perfume of blueberries, mulberries, cassis, white chocolate and subtle toasty oak. Notes of Chinese black tea, cedarwood and forest floor also make an appearance in the singular aromatic and flavor profiles. This sumptuous, full-bodied La Lagune possesses low acidity, abundant but ripe, sweet tannin and a long, 45-second finish. Give this beauty 5-7 years of bottle age and drink it over the following three decades."
