Duckhorn's 2014 Goldeneye is a beautiful Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley that should be on the short list for any Pinot lover. Get the new vintage before the ratings come out! 94 Points Brix26: "Always one of our favorite Pinots, the 2014 knocks it out of the park. From a stellar vintage, its rich and distinctive, with complex, concentrated black cherry, wild berry, savory spice and fresh earth scents. The tannins are rich and mouthcoating, yet the fruit pours through. Drink now through 2021."
Sipping Fine Wine
In 1997, Goldeneye harvested its first grapes, a modest 375 cases of wine. Ruby with aromas of ripe red fruits with layers of herb and spice scents. Grapes blended from several vineyards and aged in French oak for 16 months, the palate had flavors of cranbery & wild cherry fruit, with sweet currants adding smoke, leather, cacao and earthy tones, nice mouthfeel that lingered to a long finish. Complex, consistent. Very Nice! Perfect!

Bottle #3 post post-thanksgiving round of golf (in Minnesota). Cayenne tinged burnt caramel on the nose, velvety mouthfeel and a rich finish provide a nice wrap up to the afternoon. On to the main event shortly. Bring on the uber.
