Entirely Merlot based, this beautiful new wine was aged in 50% new French oak for sixteen months before bottling. Ripe blackberry aromatic tones mingle with shades of dark chocolate shavings and tar that all come together in the glass. The palate shows a wonderful sense of mouthfeel and weight, with great acidity that runs through the core of dark fruits, dark chocolate shavings and creosote flavors. Fresh, vibrant and full of life in its youth, this outstanding wine will have a long life ahead of it. Drink 2020-2038- 93 — 6 years ago
Light vin gris with raspberry notes lending a night tartness to it. Not as mind blowing as I had hoped but I love Goldeneye wine. — 8 years ago

Incredibly well balanced pinot. Light bodied but packs a punch. Delicious interplay of earthy and red fruit notes with hints of spice — 6 years ago
Drank this vintage with good friends who are constantly introducing bottles who are part of the duckhorn delivery club or whatever subsidiary duckhorn has. They opened it at the end of dinner. Honestly this was bottle number 2 after 3 NEIPAs already onboard. It was very smooth, fruity, incredibly balanced and I dont think any of us even put our glasses down while enjoying. What a blast! — 7 years ago
