2018 Ama Estate Pinot Noir
Buying options
Tasting notes
Vibrant ruby-purple, the 2018 Estate Pinot Noir Ama has deep, inviting aromas of cranberry sauce, rhubarb and blood orange with notions of black tea leaves, forest floor and dried violets. The medium-bodied palate is concentrated with earthy and spicy accents, a fresh and grainy frame and delicately styled finish. 550 cases were made.

The 2018 Pinot Noir Estate Ama is dark, bold and ample, with tremendous density and more stature than I am used to seeing. Black cherry, lavender, spice, mocha, licorice and menthol all flesh out in this decidedly big, deep wine. The 2018 Ama is undeniably powerful and also so long on character.
