Goldeneye Anderson Valley 2021 Pinot Noir, $39.99-$59.99, 93 points, poured a lovely Burgundy red color with pomegranate red highlights, a broad clear meniscus, and moderate stained legs.
The bouquet was lovely red fruit, cinnamon, floral vibes, and just a hint of mint leaf.
In fourteen years, this was only my third Goldeneye PN (price is a good excuse), and this one was reminiscent of the 2019 vintage in many ways: body, acidity, tannins grainier, flavors of red fruit, especially red cherry/red raspberry, cinnamon, and hints of cayenne.
Finished long on the trailing palate, mulberry, tarragon, sage, and a well-balanced 14.2%.
Paired nicely with my Spanakopita.
