La Capra, Coastal Region (South Africa) Pinotage 2008

Aug 6, 2010

By Gerald D. Boyd

 La Capra is a tasty value Pinotage loaded with fruit and nicely structured.  It has a deep mulberry-red color, hints of cedar and blueberry and ripe berry flavors.  The oak tannins are nicely integrated and the finish is textured and fruity with 14% alcohol.  La Capra is a good example of a fruity Pinotage that benefits nicely from aging in American oak.
