Domenica Amato Pinot Noir Stuller Vineyard

Best bottle of this to date.....or it's just in its optimal drinking window? Absolutely stunning and deep fruit (cherry/strawberry) with perfectly integrated wood treatment, all edges are silky soft and there is perfect acidity tying it all together. This has a ways to go but never has it been drinking this good!

Full bodied without that strange aftertaste some pinots have.

Doesn't seem to matter the vintage, whether it's the '08, '09 or '10....92 pts seems to be the number for me. Unique style of PN, bold yet restrained, nice fruit but never over the top, barrel treatment in the background where it belongs, acidity running it's tight line right through it all. Probably the most unique Cali PN I've had to date. The '10 feels just a tad 'leaner' to me than the last 2 vintages. Nice.......this can certainly go …

PnP: bright ruby; pinote with strong red berries, notes of strawberry and raspberry; medium bodied; sweet mid-palate, salinity; nice finish

Coravin; ruby; pinote with mineral edge on nose; strawberry, mineral salinity, medium bodied, nice berry finish

Domenica Amato Winemaker Tasting with Michael Scorsone (Easy Bistro) : more earth than the '09 and a little less structured

A nice amount of fruit flavor with earth. Very pleasant tannins, medium acidity and just in a really good spot right now.
