Swartland 2004 Indalo Cabernet Sauvignon (Swartland)

  1. $14
An oaky, spicy Swartland version of this popular variety, the wine has nice dark fruit flavors with touches of chocolate and a medium-full body that is just shy of showing alcoholic heat in the mouth. Finishes with a hint of leather.  — M.D.  (12/31/2006)

Swartland 2003 Indalo Pinotage (Swartland)

  1. $14
From an area formerly known for wheat and tobacco comes this co-op produced premium wine. This Pinotage is inky-purple in color with fresh, grapy whiffs of dark berry and spice, with lemony overtones. Full-bodied and creamy in the mouth, it has flavors of spice, purple fruit and straw with a lemony-citrus finish. Imported by Hemingway & Hale.  — M.D.  (7/1/2006)

Swartland 2003 Indalo Shiraz (Swartland)

  1. $15
Earthy, leathery and peppery scents on this Swartland offering will appeal to fans of a more grounded Shiraz, and the flavors follow suit. Berry and tobacco layers are folded into smooth tannins, but the wine has structure. It’s a little on the rustic side, though with a good barbecue the edge might be evened out.  — S.K.  (6/1/2007)
