This wine is 14 years old but color is like yesterday. The aroma, mouth feel and finish are so smooth with mature fruit flavors of combination of dark and red fruits - blueberries, raspberries, strawberries. I have not a pinot this good in a long time from USA. Give in 10 minutes to open up. Magnum, I had been trying to sell for like $75 and no takers so drink it. It is better than any current release of any CA pinot you can buy; sorry I drink it.
Beautiful wine. Lovely cranberry pomegranate and cola notes over subtler hints of morels, pine needles, cedar and forest floor. No heat. No bite. Just perfect right now.

Wonderful nose! Compared to standard Goldeneye, this is a no-brainer. Notes say 'mango', I might agree. Such lovely fruit and leather on the nose, and smooth tannins. I can't see how people can say this will age well- it seems ready to go now and while the tannins are smooth, I don't think they're big enough to hold for more than a few years. Luckily, I doubt most will keep this bottle for much longer!

Lovely aged with cinnamon, red currant, beats and a powerful hint of forest floor. The cork crumbled on opening.
