The 2009 Pinot Noir Sunnyside Single Vineyard was sourced from a site planted in the early 1970s. The nose is a bit reticent but does reveal notes of dried herbs, spices, and red fruits. Balanced, savory, and with moderate length, it will drink well from 2012 to 2019. Tel. (503) 835-2362; www.amityvineyards.com

The 2008 Pinot Noir Sunnyside Single Vineyard was aged for 10 months in 11% new oak. It exhibits an inviting bouquet of spice box, earth notes, rose petal, incense, raspberry, and cherry. Medium-bodied with moderate intensity and depth, it has ample savory fruit and a sense of elegance. It will benefit from another 1-2 years of bottle age but can be approached now. www.amityvineyards.com

The Sunnyside Pinot Noirs are consistently pretty wines, with tempting aromas of ripe cherries, underscored with spicy herb. Barrel aging brings a chocolate wash to the finish; all in all a very drinkable effort best enjoyed when young. ——P.G.(12/15/2010)—— 89
