Amici Cellars Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2022

In 2020, Amici's winemaker Tony Biagi was named "Winemaker of the Year" by Antonio Galloni of Vinous!

93 pts. James Suckling:

"So balanced, focused and pure, the wine is packed with black cherries and blackcurrants, lively in texture yet nicely rounded and velvety. Redwood forest, clove and woodsy mushroom accents add complexity. Moderate tannins. Drink now."

Oh what a pleasing Russian River Valley Pinot! This is the kind of wine that, with every sip, you discover different flavors. Definitely not a boring wine! An absolute joy to drink. - Wine Factor

FROM THE WINERY

ABOUT THE WINE: The 2022 Pinot Noir opens with an enticing nose of Bing cherry, black tea, and delicate baking spices. Layers of complexity follow on the palate, showcasing vibrant notes of blackberry compote intermingled with delightfully crunchy red fruit and an undertone of cinnamon spice. The finish is a testament to the elegant 2022 vintage, with a soft and luscious texture that leaves a lasting impression.

2022 VINTAGE: The 2022 harvest in Northern California’s Napa and Sonoma regions had a great beginning with early rains, followed by consistent spring and mild summer weather. Harvest began in mid-August and progressed rapidly through a late summer heat spike, resulting in the harvesting of all white grapes by mid-September. The overall quality of the 2022 vintage is incredible, with concentrated flavors and great freshness.
