2022 | Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir | Mendocino County 1.5L Azienda Agricola Pugnane The 2023 Syrah Estate Grown

The 2023 Syrah Estate Grown is shaping up to be a gem

whipped cream and fresh plums

low acid elements from Les Challaix

the soils are more clayey than in the other vineyards

it pales in comparison to the Granja Gran Reserva 2014

2022 | Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir | Mendocino County 1.5L Azienda Agricola Pugnane The 2023 Syrah Estate GrownA pretty wine with classic flavors and an elegant texture. Aromas of red tea, cherries, black tea and cinnamon lead to a silky palate of red cherries, strawberries and a touch of rhubarb. Light tannins, a full body and subtle oak nuances, even though more than 40% of the French barrels the wine aged in were new. 92 Pts James Suckling
