a big steak calls for a big wine, here a pit-fire-grilled ribeye 🥩 matched with a ripe, creamy, plummy, mineral-tinged #Goldeneye Winery #Pinot from #Mendocino's #AndersonValley Split Rail Vyd. The minerally-edged Pinot harmonized beautifully with the mineral funk of the boeuf. 🍷🎯

A nice Anderson Valley pinot that is finally coming into its drinking window. Red fruited and fresh with well balanced acidity. Continued to evolve over several hours, should be great when it hits 10 years and beyond.

A full bodied fruit-bomb indeed, but well made and exactly what I wanted with gochujang fire chicken. Ripe red plum, cherry, boysenberry, pennyroyal, underbrush, toast, vanilla and a real peppery kick on the finish (not alcohol heat, but legit pepper). This wine was way too dense upon release, but 3 years later it has developed really nice depth and big time velvety tannins. A cab drinker’s Pinot.

Deep fruit flavors. Not a beginners pinot. Tasted against the Confluence Vineyard. This was darker and deeper flavor and fruit. Started off gummy and mellowed out after 3 hours on nondecanted air. 14.5% alcohol - no joke. Bought this wine to drink with my wife as a way of saying "I'm sorry for being gone all weekend and thank you for watching the kids..."
