Pinotage 2014 | Amador County

A cross between the delicate Pinot Noir and the more robust Hermitage (Cinsaut), this wine boasts aromas and flavors of black cherry and plum, intertwined with black pepper, and a rich earthiness that leads to a sweet tobacco finish. This Pinotage is bold yet smooth, with sultry tannins that linger on your palate. This wine would pair amazingly with grilled lamb chops or blackened bone-in ribeye steak.
