Dry with medium acidity, body and light tannins. More fruity over oak, and spicy taste. Inexpensive.

More body, vanilla, toast, complexity added to a straight La Capra version which is good as well. Dark berries with high octane floral note, zesty, kind of piquant and pricking stuff - that is pinotage. Not overloaded and correct
