This was the inaugural release and we could not help but try it. The wine has beautiful colors. Not much nose. Young, light and fruity. Will be very nice after laying down for a few years. Exceptional for a first release.

Need to drink this now. It is getting up there in age. I like this wine; however, of the Loma Prieta pinotage, this is my least favorite.
