Tasting note

Black Swift Vineyards' 2022 Singita Pinotage should bring black cherry, plum and dark berry, with a touch of pepper. Okanagan Valley fruit is expected to feel ripe but lively, supple tannins giving the palate shape and acidity lifting the fruit. Its peak interval runs from 2024 through 2026; the drinking range concludes in 2029. A soft, savory finish should leave dark fruit and spice, with a faint earthy note.
