Anne Amie - 2003 Deux Vert Pinot Noir
Sunday, December 21, 2008
Anne Amie is one of my favorite Oregon Vineyards and if you are ever out west this is one you must visit. The view is amazing and rivals many places in Napa Valley. The tasting room overlooks a patch of vines on every side as well as beautiful rolling landscape in all directions. They specialize in Pinot Noir which is usual for many Oregon vineyards. Upon pouring the wine was a deep ruby red with a strong nose. The start was classic pinot with the plump fruit but it didn't end there. This wine was complex enough to stand up to many Burgundians with layers of oak, earth and hints of pepper. The finish lingered on your tongue while your brain begged for more. This isn't a cheap bottle either, you are looking at a $45 bottle but let me tell ya, its well worth it. When buying Oregon Pinots I tend to set my starting price point at $25. You can find some as low as $20 but the good ones are really at the $30+ level. Though these are not everyday wines, you should treat yourself to a great Oregon Pinot a few times a year.
