2007 Goldeneye The Narrows Vineyard Estate Grown Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.5% alc., 506 cases,
$75. The coolest estate vineyard, planted in 1991 and situated on a narrow ridge top in the northern end of the
Anderson Valley. This is typically the last-picked and lowest-yielding property. The majority of this wine is from
block 20, planted to a mix of Pommard and Dijon clones, a section that the producers are particularly fond of.
·
Moderately dark reddish-purple color in the glass. Brooding aromas of black cherries and oak bark. Rich with
concentrated ripe, sweet darker fruits which have some charm but are buried in tannins now. Impressively
smooth on the palate. This wine will appeal to fans of full-bodied Pinot Noir and would make a perfect
transition wine for an ex-Cabernet drinker. A good cellar candidate. Very Good.

2006 Goldeneye The Narrows Vineyard Anderson Valley Pinot Noir
14.9% alc., $75. A challenging site to
farm due to its coolness and threat of frost.
·
A big wine with a dark fruit, earth and dark oak toast imprint
showing significant tannin and some alcohol on the back end. Plenty of structural power in a jammy style.
