Wow! Tasting great here at the tail end of 2022. Plush, but by no means flabby or overblown. Lots of rich fruit still, buttressed by the darker faint spice and earth of the Anderson Valley. I haven't kept track of the evolution of winemakers and styles at Goldeneye, so not sure how this bigger wine fits into their trajectory. Taken on its own it's a dandy - will probably be at its peak into 2024.

Fantastic showing with incredibly well integrated tannin and medium-low acidity. My notes from the tasting are limited, but from the dark ruby in the glass to the lovely aromas of darker fruit and funky earth, and the silky texture on the palate, this wine is aging very, very well. Glad I have a few more in the cellar so I can take better notes next time.

Ever so slightly oxidized, this was a lush, sweet, full, round, balanced wine that crushed thanksgiving.
