Painted Wolf 2007 Pinotage (Coastal Region)
- Editors' Choice
- $17
This is a stylish Pinotage and may turn skeptics into believers on this eccentric variety. Waves of ripe red fruit, cedar, vanilla and spice are followed by dense layers of red berry fruit, warming spices and a touch of smoke. The acid and fruit is balanced and the overall character complex but friendly. An assertive but food-oriented wine.

- $15

Painted Wolf 2010 The Den Pinotage (Coastal Region)
- Best Buy
- $12
Coffee grinds and black licorice root spice up the black berry and cherry aromas in the bouquet. Surprisingly firm and concentrated in the mouth, the skin-driven dark fruit flavors are forward but tight with serious staying power; allow for some time to soften and open up a bit before enjoying.

Painted Wolf 2009 The Den Pinotage (Coastal Region)
- Online Exclusive

A bit closed on the nose, it takes a while for notes of black cherry skins and rubber to appear in the bouquet. The mouth offers a bit more flavor, with a nice chocolate-covered cherry finish. Drink now.
