Aimee Fowler rated this wine as 85/100 with the following review:

The Bean Coffee Pinotage hints in the name what to expect on the nose and palate of the wine. This medium-bodied red wine elicits a lot of oak on the nose and palate through flavours of tobacco, vanilla, mocha, espresso, toasted hazelnut and cedar wood. Fruit comes through with black cherry, prune and plum. There is a slight vegetal note on the nose as well with notes of asparagus, cooked green pepper and fresh beets. It is smooth to drink with decent acidity, and soft tannins. A delicious new world find!

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
