Herding (Large) Cats
 

In the grocery store wine aisle yesterday, I caught sight of a wine named Herding Cats, with a great-looking label showing two cheetahs. It was a Western Cape wine blend of merlot and pinotage. I took a bottle home, and was it ever nice! Lots of pinotage flavor, tannin-y, fruity but not too fruit-forward. I'm going back today for 6 more bottles.

This is a new label to me here in the US, and so I thought I'd give a heads-up to any of you lovers of SA wines who frequent this forum.

celia,

there are people around who insist that a very good label won't be on a bad wine.......

have not idea whether this is true or not. but your experience seemingly supports this!

here are some reviews which might be of interest to you

Thanks for the reviews, Div.

On my return trip to the store, I saw a cab-pinotage blend, and bought 1 bottle of that, too.
