Savvy wine buy: Montestell Reserve 2000 Paarl, South Africa By Max Jacobson LAS VEGAS SUN This spicy, full bodied grape is South Africa's unique contribution to the world of wine. It was the result of cross-breeding two varietals, Pinot Noir and Cinsault, and the wine is characterized by being slightly aromatic, with a wild fruitiness and hints of oak. Montestell recently won the prestigious Robert Mondavi Best Winemaker 2001 Award, and this spicy, fruity wine is a perfect example of the genre, at a price that no one is apt to complain about.
