2018 Olema Sonoma County Pinot Noir
14.2% alc., $19.99 (Total Wine) Cellared and bottled by Amici
Cellars, American Canyon, Napa County, CA.
·
Moderately dark garnet color in the glass. Shy, but pleasant
aromas of black fruits with a hint of oak. A mid-weight plus styled wine rich in blackberry and black raspberry
fruits. Soft in the mouth with integrated tannins and overall good balance. Not complex in a fruit-driven style
with some finish that is satisfying. This wine would appeal to those looking for more fruit abundance and
ripeness.
Score: 89.
