13.5% alc/vol; fruit sourced from bush vines. Dark, clear ruby-garnet with the mulberry hue that's typical of many Pinotages. Reticent albeit correct varietal nose comprising leather, elderberries (and maybe some elderflower notes) and smoky/savoury sun-dried tomatoes. Properly consistent on the mid-palate with a balanced, medium-bodied structure. Not as tough and brutish in structure or on the finish as I'd like, but a very serviceable Pinotage nevertheless. $14.95 at Vintages on recent release.
An aside: I really miss the fabulous Libertas Pinotage that used to sell as a regular-listing item at the LCBO some 8 years ago. It only cost $7.95 and, although lighter-bodied than many an estate version featured at Vintages, it nevertheless packed a fantastic amount of leather and bitter grapeskin tannins - an acquired taste to be sure, but one that I acquired very early.
