Cape Route is the creation of Ernst Storm, a winemaker who splits his time between Santa Barbara and his homeland in South Africa. Born in Hermanus, near Cape Town in the famed Walker Bay appellation, Ernst landed in California in 2003 and has since honed a mix of modern techniques alongside the hand crafted methods of the Cape. This Pinotage is a fiery red that shows red fruit notes and a hefty dash of spice. Just like the meandering, scenic road it’s named for — a stretch of the longest wine route on Earth — Cape Route is one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets.

On a mission for a favorite…
"Alright choice"
Just ok
"A bit too syrupy."
Not a fan
"I typically find that I like pinotage but wasn't a fan of this one - whatever it is I don't like about pinot noirs, I didn't like about this either."
Like It.
"Like it."
A favorite!
"Smooth"
Very drinkable
"very good, not as earthy as some Pinotages, but good flavor and depth"
Not too sweet
"Just fruity enough to be interesting, a nice change from my usual dry reds"
Laid back night
"Light and easy. Different flavor profile than typical grocery store grabs."
Easy drinking Pinotage
"Smooth, easy drinking. Less earthy than I prefer in a Pinotage, this one was a bit more fruit forward."
