McNab Ridge Napoli Vineyard Pinotage 2009

Color: Rich Ruby Purple

Nose: Heavy rose, ripe red berry fruit, waft of flowery perfume and touches of earthy, mineral slate

Palate: This lush, bright red starts off with heaver tones of mineral notes mixed with rich plum that quickly gives way to soft fruiter notes - an even balance between the sweetness of strawberry and the tartness of red apple peel. The soft, lingering finnish gives way to hints of cherry with soft tones of fig. This Pinotage from Mendocino County, CA would really pair well thick, juicy cuts of red meat dishes from the grill or hearty roasts.
