Deux Amis Pinot Noir 2006
Greetings! Last summer my wife and I went to Santa Rosa to visit family. We went wine tasting, and one of our stops was to Deux Amis. Deux Amis is predominately a Zin house, but we were lucky enough to get some of newly released Pinot Noir.
We opened the pinot on Friday, and it was delicious.
Winemakers notes: “Our inaugural Pinot Noir exhibits ideal varietal characteristics of Anderson Valley fruit. Aromas of dried cheerries, spice and smoke lead to seductive flavors of cherry, spice, black cherry cola and a touch of forest floor wrapped in a creamy, rich texture. Full-bodied and complex, this wine will continue to improve with age, but only if you can resist the temptation to drink it all now.”

Deux Amis { duh zah me }, French for “two friends”, is a partnership between two friends, Phyllis Zouzounis and Jim Penpraze. Six years of working together in the wine industry with many a late night relaxing over a glass of Zinfandel after a long day on the crush pad, found the two friends envisioning their own winery. The dream became a reality with the 1987 harvest. That year, Deux Amis produced one hundred cases of Zinfandel from one vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley. Today, Jim and Phyllis produce over 1500 cases of wine from grapes grown in Sonoma County’s Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys.
