2011 Goldeneye Pinot Noir Anderson Valley
6/15/2020 - galaxie500 wrote: 86 Points
30 min decant; Darkish red in the glass, some fruit aromas apparent with glass on the counter.
Dark fruit aromas, nothing particularly stuck out.
Unexpected Light to Medium Light mouth feel and abrupt sweet finish. ABV was surprising, with limited to no detectable tannins.
Perhaps this should have been opened a few years ago. Received as a gift 5 or 6 years ago, and found it after moving some stuff around.
Hard to estimate what it was like upon release, probably not in my wheelhouse.
Had not turned; no foul flavors. Tired.
Recommend drink soon.

2014 Carlisle Zinfandel Pagani Ranch Sonoma Valley
6/6/2020 - galaxie500 Likes this wine:
Decanted 60 minutes.
Deep dark red with splash of purple.
Soft nose with mostly dark berry aromas.
Medium/full mouthfeel, and somewhat muted flavors in finish. Not sure why seemed closed-up, but previous bottle in April had a similar tasting note; didn't seem to be bursting forth like others.
Compared to many other wines, this tasted pretty good. Perhaps my bar is set kinda high for Carlisle. We have a 2015, maybe I should open that for a reality check.
