Country: US / Amber Ridge
Variety: Pinot Noir California
Winery: Armanino Family Cellars / Russian River Valley
Armanino’s 2010 shows a welcome return to form after the 2009. Indeed, it’s more like the ’08, vastly rich in raspberry and cherry compote, gingersnap cookie, sweet, caramelized oak and exotic spice flavors. Feels like pure silk and satin in the mouth, making it perfect for drinking now.
