2010

90 Points Wine Advocate - "Anne Amie’s 2010 Pinot Noir Winemaker’s Selection reflects a wide diversity of clones at their home and Twelve Oak properties (with another 20% of the fruit originating in Rainbow Ridge and the very promising Alloro). Tart, juicy brightness of ripe pomegranate, cherry and red raspberry lends this a delicious impression of fruit shrub and a veneer of caramelized resin from barrel is light and well-integrated. Bacon fat, nutmeg, and candied citrus rind, add interest on the way to a satisfyingly long, lip-smacking finish. I expect this will drink well through at least 2018." (read)
