assertive and spicy, this interesting bottling, from amity vineyard estate grapes, shows that even at just 13% alcohol oregon pinot can cut it. made in a distinctive style that is clearly neither california nor burgundy, this herbal, intense, wine puts the focus on the aromas, a beguiling mix of pine and herb. but the fruit is there right behind, tart and sassy, with cola and root beer notes sliding into a well-modulated but tannic finish.
