Amity 2007 Dry Gewürztraminer

Price $20

Exceptionally concentrated, unctuous and oily, this reveals the floral/spicy character of the grape in all its glory. It’s a complex wine that just keeps on going, with jasmine, lemon polish, citrus and more fleshing out the flavors. The moderate alcohol and dry style keep it perfect for a range of foods, especially smoked salmon or spicy Thai. — P.G. (12/15/2009)

Amity 2000 Dry Gewürztraminer

Best Buy

Price $12

A knockout wine, with beautiful scents of flowers and herbs, smooth flavors that are perfectly balanced between fruit and acid, and a long, glissando finish that demands another sip. 656 cases made. — P.G. (12/1/2003)

points

Amity 2002 Select Cluster Riesling

Price $40

Peaches and honey mix it up at trockenbeerenauslese levels, all botrytis-affected. Very rich and butter soft, with 24% residual sugar and just 7.4% alcohol. There’s a lot of room for further development in this very young wine. — P.G. (12/1/2003)

points

Amity 2007 Riesling

Price $18

Though just 11% alcohol, this still feels vividly dry in the mouth. It’s less floral than many Rieslings, but brings dried herb, paper, dried apple and other fruits in a range of flavors with plenty of dry extract and concentration. A very fine autumn wine. — P.G. (12/15/2009)

points

Amity 1999 Estate Pinot Noir

Price $30

This is the last of Amity’s ’99s to be released; no ’99 reserve was made because the juice went into three single-vineyard releases. With the extra time the wine has smoothed out a bit, but it is still tight and reticent upon first being opened. Good structure, some spicy highlights, and a concentrated, tarry finish. — P.G. (12/1/2003)

points

Amity 2009 Crannell Single Vineyard Pinot Noir

Price $35

Dark in color and flavor, the Crannell brings ripe fruit flavors of black cherry and prune. Smooth and full-bodied, with an easy-drinking roundness to the mouthfeel, it finishes softly with all components well integrated. — P.G. (6/1/2012)

points

Amity 2001 Dry Riesling

Best Buy

Price $12

An off-dry, delicious style, with plenty of good acid and just 10.5% alcohol. There’s an abundance of rich flavor, spice and texture to this wine, which wraps the taste buds in citrus zest, stone and hints of lemon candy. 958 cases made. — P.G. (12/1/2003)

points

Amity 2007 Pinot Blanc

Price $17

This pleasing Pinot Blanc threads honeycomb highlights into juicy, ripe fruit flavors of yellow apple and Asian pear. Dry, with good grip, it’s another wine that is showing that Oregon winemakers have an opportunity to claim this under-appreciated grape as their own—who else is even trying? — P.G. (12/15/2009)
