Incredible ECO-WINES and Oregon Certified Sustainable wine from Amity Vineyards

There are a few places on earth that simply recharge your soul. Amity Vineyards is one of these places for me. Yes, my happy place--one might even say heaven on earth. For me, absolutely nothing beats sitting at the top of the vineyard at the picnic table enjoying one of the best glasses...oh, okay...bottles of wine ever made while soaking up the view below.

Amity owner, Myron Redford, has been an environmental activist and proponent for sustainable winemaking and organic farming far before it was fashionable to do so. A founding member of the LIVE program, Myron and his wife Vikki’s commitment to sustainability is something that they hope is translated in their wines. And it is.

Amity began producing ECO-WINES in 1991 with the release of Oregon's first organic, sulfite-free Pinot Noir. Since then, Amity has been adding more and more organic wines to their ECO-WINE label. Here are their current offerings:

2007 ECO-WINE Willamette Valley Pinot Noir

The 2007 Eco-Wine® Pinot Noir has a pleasant aroma of berries and red fruits, predominantly cherry and cranberry, with a hint of spice and vanilla. In mouth it is smooth with a long pleasant finish. It is ideal for pastas, black beans, fish, chicken and picnic fare.April Sale: Reg. $20.00 Now $16.00 bottle $192.00 case
