Goldeneye’s estate vineyard blend is always a great one, and this vintage is no exception. Bright cherry fruit with touches of raspberry, powder, fall spice, leaf and moderate oak toast are artfully blended, with a kiss of charred oak joining damp earth and fruit in the long finish. I would cellar this for 5 years to let the char integrate to get the full elegance that’s promised.
