Fram Pinotage, South Africa 2017 (750ml)

This is a surprisingly bright and herbal Pinotage, with an intense floral, garrigue to the bouquet and a distinct, almost mentholated character that lifts the ripe plum, cherry, and berry fruit. Framing tannins lend structure to the medium-weight palate, while notes of lightly charred black fruit and espresso unfold on the spicy close.
