The Painted Wolf Wines 2012 The Den Pinotage (W.O. Coastal Region) South Africa
Availability: BCLDB Stores
Cost: $14.99
Alcohol: 14%
Date Tasted: January 25th, 2016
Tasting Notes: The nose of this Coastal Region Pinotage blends wild berry fruit with sweet, cured meat and light incense aromas. Red and blue fruits are more prominent on the dry, full palate with toasty oak and spices filling in the flavour profile. A little rough around the edges but well priced for the intensity of fruit and solid typicity for the variety on offer. Drink now-2016.

The Painted Wolf Wines 2014 The Den Chenin Blanc (W.O. Swartland) South Africa
Availability: BCLDB Stores
Cost: $13.29 + taxes
Alcohol: 13.5%
Date Tasted: August 25th, 2015
Tasting Notes: A refreshing, well-balanced and extremely well-priced Chenin Blanc from South Africa with zesty citrus, rich apple and light mineral aromas on the nose. The palate opens with a kick of zesty citrus fruit that quickly transitions to creamy, off-dry texture mid-palate and then circles back to tongue-tingling citrus zest for the (slightly) spicy finish. Delicious. Drink now-2016.
