Eikeboom Piontage 2015 - Western Cape, South Africa

Wine: Eikeboom

Varietal: Piontage

Region: Western Cape

Country: South Africa


Year: 2015 

Price: $8.95

Shop Review:  “This dark-colored 2015 possesses cranberry and cherry richness intermixed with some spice box, earth and herbs. It is fresh, medium-bodied and could be served chilled if readers desire, given its Beaujolais-like weight and texture.”

My Review: This wine smelled like smoke. When I tasted it, I could sense a cranberry flavor, but it was slightly overpowered by a burnt taste. I would not drink this wine again particularly because of its smoky flavor.

Did not have with food.
