Pinot Noir-Mendocino

Pinot Noir-Mendocino Wine Details
Price: $42.00 per bottle

Description: The 2003 vintage marks the second release of Amici Pinot Noir. The fruit was sourced from a hidden jewel of a vineyard, located in the coastal mountain range high above the town of Mendocino. The wine is a blend of 65% Pommard clone; 30% Dijon #115 clone; and, 5% Dijon #777 clone. The #777 clone came from a small vineyard in Philo – a small inland town in the Mendocino (Anderson Valley) appellation. The #777 clone added color and body to the finished wine which features cranberry, loganberry, spice and forest floor aromatics. The flavors are very concentrated and complex, with a faint hint of pepper. The 2003 Amici Pinot Noir drinks beautifully now, but will age for 7-10 years.
