Editorial Reviews for Amity Vineyards Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
Laid back earthy, floral, and slightly evergreen aromas grace the nose with a building core of cran/raspberry fruit. Rich and ripe on entry with acids that seem a touch soft at first. This delivers fairly intense orange cream framed red cherry and raspberry fruit in a clean, lightly aromatic style that fresh and unencumbered. Really lovely depth of flavor here and it comes with faint oak notes and a really nice soil base note. The fruit takes on a slight medicinal note towards the back which echoes with a licorice tones on the modest finish. Should gain some length with time. Very delicious. 89pts

Light, bright red. Redcurrant, strawberry and spicecake on the nose, with a subtle floral quality adding complexity. Light-bodied, juicy red fruit flavors are a bit tart initially but gain sweetness with air and pick up a note of black raspberry. Very fresh wine with good finishing clarity and zesty cut. Iandrsquo;ll bet that this will be even better in a couple of years after the fruit smooths out, but it drinks well already.
Amity Vineyardandrsquo;s 2008 Pinot Noir Vin Rouge was aged for 10 months in 7% new oak. Easygoing, pleasant, and generously endowed with spicy red fruits, this savory, forward effort will offer considerable pleasure over the next 3andndash;4 years. It is a good value.
