2007 Goldeneye Confluence Vineyard Estate Grown Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 516 cases, $75. This vineyard is located in the
heart of the Anderson Valley at the headwaters of the Navarro River and
displays a range of soils and exposures.
·
Moderately garnet in color in the
glass. Amazingly aromatic with a potpourri of cherries, brioche and
sandalwood. Delicious red cherry and raspberry flavors accented with
spice and restrained oak. Not all about fruit, with some edgy earthiness adding
character. Mild dry, suede tannins make for easy drinking now. The lightest in
weight of the four vineyard based wines and the most charming now. A great
expression of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir.

2006 Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $55.
·
Opens nicely in the
glass revealing spiced dark cherry and berry fruit. Moderately intense attack of black
cherries and raspberries on the palate with a deft touch of oak. Silky in texture with
lively acidity and a refreshingly dry finish. Well-crafted.

2006 Goldeneye Confluence Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.9% alc., $75. From the warmest
vineyard site farmed by Goldeneye.

Ripe raisiny fruit on the nose and ripe flavors of red cherries, berries,
sassafras and raisin on the palate. Hefty in style with moderate fine-grain tannins and a touch of warmth on the
fruity finish.

2005 Goldeneye Confluence Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., $75. This vineyard is
adjacent to the headwaters of the Navarro River with varying exposures and soils.
·
Sweet, richly oaked dark
cherries, redwood, and old wine cellar scents. Restrained dark Pinot fruits with a faint chemical taste I can’t put
my finger on. Fairly elegant with fine-grained tannins. A decent wine that may need some time to become
more expressive, but there isn’t much going on right now.
