Loma Prieta Winery - Boutique Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains

2009 Pinotage, Amorosa Vineyard

A riot of wild cherry, sassafras, raspberry and caramel proves that Pinotage is indeed the darker, more dangerous side of Pinot Noir. It’s showy and glitzy, with all kinds of forward fruits, including raspberry, cherry, and red currents, yet enough depth and muscle to go the distance.
