Goldeneye Pinot Noir Gowan Creek Vineyard 2016

Deep and expressive, this beautifully structured Pinot Noir displays luxurious aromas of brambly blackberry and blueberry pie, along with hints of black licorice, anise and pennyroyal. On the palate, robust, mouthcoating tannins add presence and volume to the dark berry fruit flavors, with lovely underlying acidity drawing the wine to a vibrant finish.

This full-bodied and firmly textured wine from perennial standout Goldeneye seems designed for aging, as its firm tannins and fresh acidity buoy abundant flavors of black cherry, clove and cedar. A slight tightness on the palate will help it age and improve through 2025.
