“Light and silky, with a bright beam of raspberry and tobacco flavors streaming through a veil of fine-grained tannins. Finshes lively, but with grace.” 90 Points

“Bright red. Energetic, focused strawberry, raspberry and floral aromas are complemented by Asian spices and minerals. Shows deeper cherry and black raspberry on the palate, along with gentle smoke and candied flower nuances. Finishes with very good focus and a snap of berry skin.”

“Vivid red color. Sexy aromas of red berry preserves, kirsch, potpourri and smoky minerals. Juicy red fruit flavors become more tangy with aeration and are energized by a late note of blood orange. With its finishing clarity and spicy cut, this reminds me a Chambolle-Musigny. I really like this wine's vivacity.”

“Bright red. Fresh red berry and cherry aromas gain power with air, picking up notes of dried flowers and black cardamom. Sweet, concentrated black raspberry and candied rose flavors provide very good palate coverage and are braced by zesty minerals. Lively for the vintage, with very good finishing clarity and gentle grip.”

“A gorgeous pomegranate color in the glass, Amity’s ’07 offers aroma of smoke, cranberries, raspberries and tar. Brisk, zippy and lively on the palate, the Pinot adds suggestions of black cherries, cloves and an intriguing earthy soil signature. Clean, spicy and with superb soil transparency on its ling finish, Amity’s ’07 Pinot harkens back to the classic profile of Oregon’s Pinots of yesteryear. We’re totally enamored with the elegance and grace we’ve found in the early releases of 2007 Willamette Valley Pinot noir, and here is a superb, affordable example to enjoy now and over the coming five years with roast duck, chicken, cedar plank salmon and wild mushroom dishes.”
