Tasting - Eikeboom Pinotage

Name: Eikeboom Pinotage
Variety: 100% Pinotage
Region: Western Cape
Country: South Africa
Year: 2015
Price: $17

Winery 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" (Wine & Spirits - 88). 

My Review: I did not care for this wine. While the initial aromas and flavors of cherries were nice, there was a strange finish/aftertaste of earthy wood that I did not enjoy. I also did not try this wine with any food.
