My Wine of
the Month for June is J Vineyard & Winery’s Pinotage 2010, grown and made
on the estate in California’s Russian River.
This had
redcurrant flavours and a lightness of fruits which danced over the reality of
its 14.7% abv. Develops complexity and had a long silky finish. Delicious.
J Vineyards
discovered they had a 2.8 acre Pinotage plot in the Backdoor Vineyard when Judy
Jordan bought the property intending to specialise in traditional-method sparkling
wines.
Pinotage is
sold exclusively in their tasting room and it has gathered many fans, quickly
selling out each vintage.
I’ve visited J Vineyards twice and brought this home
from my 2012 trip. It cost $48.50 including tax and 620 cases were made.
