Today we review a 2009 pinotage from South Africa that cost me $14.99.
John at Premier Wine in Wilmington, Delaware recommended this robust red wine to me, and he was dead on. Barista, as he stated, is the most espresso-like wine you will probably ever taste.
The aroma is like a hearty cabernet sauvignon combined with coffee liqueur. In the mouth, Barista is medium-bodied, with prominent mouth-drying tannins and flavors of espresso, combined with black cherry and rhubarb, and just a hint of dusty, unsweetened dark chocolate. Really quite amazing.
Barista is serious, yet fun at the same time because of its Starbucks overtones. And it’s delicious. It’s great to bring to a party, when you want a red that people will like, and will also get them talking. This one is highly:
Recommended.

Does it give you the coffee buzz too or is it just the flavor? That is unique –I will look for it the next time I’m in the store. Thanks!
Just the coffee flavor! Opposite of buzz, I guess!
