The Eyrie Vineyards Pinot Noir Roland Green Vineyard

Very well balanced and enjoyable right now. Cherry, strawberry and good terroir driven earthiness. Should drink well for some time.

Outstanding. Cherry and moist earth on the nose. Smooth fruit and soft tannins on the pallet (as anticipated after 8+ years of age). A delicious winter complement to seasoned and pan fried pork chops.

Drink now.

PnP and enjoyed over two nights without too much evolution. Light to medium garnet. Clean and pretty nose with substance - floral then a savory undercurrent of dark soil and underbrush, middle-eastern spice.

Slight reduction on the nose, but this blew off and showed ripe black cherry, black raspberry, maybe even a bit of cassis; floral and a hint of spice as well.

Dark and savory Pinot, though it has its bright spots. Very serious overall. Aromas of black plum, dark cherry, peach, a little cranberry, lots of pine forest, subtle white pepper and roses, a bit of roasted root veggies and raw red meat.... quite spicy and woodsy on the palate, layers of fresh ripe fruit, almost silky, and it should get there in time. Long and savory, so much character.... Gevrey-ish? This will evolve positively for many years, possibly more than …
