French Hill 2005 Premium Select Pinotage (Sierra Foothills)

Country: US / California
Variety: Pinotage
Winery: French Hill / Premium Select

Let’s hope this isn’t the future of California Pinotage, because the wine smells and tastes Porty, even though the alcohol isn’t that high. There’s a raisiny, stewed berry element that ends in a dry, harsh finish.
