2003 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
The 10% addition of Merlot, into the Cabernet Sauvignon, adds richness to the mouth feel and increases the aromatics of the wine. The color is opaque and the wine has very soft tan ... morenins, which allow the currant-blackberry flavors to take center stage on the palate. The conservative use of new French oak adds just the right amount of vanilla and spices, helping to enhance the aromatics of the wine. In their youth, all great Cabernet Sauvignons show their fruit first. Then, as bottle aging takes place, the wine more fully reveals its terroir.

2005 Pinot Noir
Mendocino
The 2005 vintage marks the third 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 ... moreMendocino. 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 2005 Amici Pinot Noir drinks beautifully now, but will age for 7-10 years.
