Amity has a policy of releasing his Pinot Noirs after they have had sufficient bottle age. Sometimes this works, while other times the fruit is muted and faded by the time the wines arrive on the market. The 1988 Pinot Noir offers a smoked game-like aroma, tasty, elegant flavors, fine definition and depth, and a moderately tannic finish. Drink it over the next 4-5 years.
