Loma Prieta 2009 Amorosa Vineyard Pinotage (Lodi)

Country: US / Amorosa Vineyard
Variety: Pinotage California
Winery: Loma Prieta / Lodi

This needs decanting, but after some air this Pinotage—a rarity in California—bears aromas of dark plum, cherry and leather pouch, followed by a deep root-beer note. Strong in flavor and body, the finish veers bitter before righting itself back on course.
