Plenty of red fruit and layered herbal nuance with some sweetness and pleasant beet- juice earthiness. Really well made and delicious.

On this Sunday night I have opened the 2010 The Eyrie Vineyards Estate Grown Dundee Hills Pinot Noir.

On the nose there is cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, licorice, smokey oak and a peppery earthiness and a bit of funk.

On the palate I am getting sour cherry, raspberry, pomegranate, peppery earthiness and a good portion of smokey oak.

This wine I am pleasantly surprised is in as good condition as it is. The wine is medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel medium + acidity and medium fine tannins that has a long sour cherry oaky earthiness finish. I am not a big oak fan but this blends well in the complexity of soul of this wine. We have made it into the new year of 2021 and I wish everyone health, prosperity and happiness for the new year. Stay safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Full, bright aromatics and flavors but light in color, body and oak so subtract 5 points from the typical upcoming American critical reviews. Lovely now to 20 years.

Very good expression of pinot. Light, red bright fruit aroma. Good acidity and minerality. Can age.

Starts off light but opens up nicely if you give it some time. Earthy and very exotic spices.
