Doolhof Reds Other
A bold South African Pinotage, stocked in small quantity in Commack.
The story behind Doolhof
Pinotage is South Africa's own red grape, a cross of Pinot Noir and Cinsault, and it makes a distinctly bold, smoky wine. Dark Lady is a fuller style, with ripe dark fruit and a savory, earthy edge that fans of Shiraz and Zinfandel tend to enjoy. It drinks well young but rewards a little air.
We keep just a bottle or two of this one on the shelf in Commack, so it is a small find rather than a stacked case. Call ahead if you want to confirm it is here.
