Mimi's Mind Eola - Amity Hills Pinot Noir 2022

9.5

My favorite at the dinner with Lingua Franca founder, Larry Stone. Mimi’s Mind was complex, beautiful, nuanced and everything I enjoy about Pinot Noir. Seductive yet powerful. I want this one with some age. — 2 months ago

@Deborah M do you feel the wines have remained the same post the acquisition of the brand?

Deborah M

@Ira Schwartz I do not have a great deal of experience with their wines but I was sitting next to someone who did and he thought they were still very special. He told me that the Pinots only get better with age.

@Deborah M Thank you for the quick response and I do agree with your dinner mate. I’m sitting on my ‘17 and ‘ 18 Mimi for now.

With burgers. Good structure under that fruit without being a bomb or overly tannic. — 6 years ago

Just tasted this blind in Somm class. I really enjoyed it and was somewhat surprised by that fact. Not as much of a fruit bomb as I would have expected. Selling Cali wines all day has jaded this East Coast kid. — 6 years ago

Another wine that shook me late on Saturday night along with the Shafer Sunspot and Schrader T6. With such a horn a plenty at the table certain bottles just had that extra gear. The depth and complexity here were astonishing. Woke up my mouth and mind immediately. Sandalwood, cherry pie, liquid leather and exotic spices. Best ‘Cos since ‘82 for me. — 6 years ago
