Once again I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted from Amici. Let me say that more precisely - I was very impressed with the Napa Valley wines I tasted. In his role as consulting winemaker, Tony Biagi has once again done a tremendous job in laying a foundation for the day to day winemaking team led by Jesse Fox. The Sonoma wines I tasted, as much as I hate to be so blunt, are really pretty pedestrian, both by comparison to the Napa Valley wines and the qualitative standard that has been set by Sonoma's top estates. My distinct impression is that a little more focus would go a long way. The 2016 Cabernets are just as impressive as they were last year, while the 2017s are promising. Readers will see a few new wines in this range, including bottlings from Oakville Ranch and Clos du Val's Hirondelle vineyard. At their best, the Amici Cabernets are rich, sumptuous and highly expressive of site.
