Jacobsdal 1998 Pinotage (Stellenbosch)

Price $17

This is a smooth, lightweight wine, but still waters run deep: The talcy tannins provide structure to the dry palate of leather, bitter cocoa, apple skin. The toasty, leathery finish has a hint of fresh mint leaf. — K.F. (9/1/2003)

Jacobsdal 2003 Pinotage (Stellenbosch)

Price $15

Jacobsdal has been making wine for nearly four decades and with this Pinotage, the producer’s years of experience show. The aromas are typical of South African Pinotage: smoke, banana, red berry and plum. Flavors of raspberry and cherry are framed by structured but subtle tannins. The wine is assertive but avoids the edge of many Pinotages. — S.K. (9/1/2007)

Jacobsdal 1996 Pinotage (Stellenbosch)

Price $15

This wine emphasizes some of the tougher elements of the Pinotage aroma/flavor profile, with lots of barnyard, earth and leather. The light cherry fruit struggles to balance with the rustic notes. — W.E. (3/1/2001)
