Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir 2005
Why Buy: Not only was this wine deemed worthy to be served at President Barack Obama's inaugural luncheon, but it's also a sublimely delicious Pinot Noir. It's worth every penny.
Price : $50
Details:
Fresh baked cherry pie. You can smell the warm, buttery crust under the sweet cherry aromas, clove and cinnamon, with hints of cassis and smoke. When you bite into it you feel your mouth flooded with flavors of dark ruby cherries, layered with sliced strawberries, ripe plums, currants, buttery vanilla, and exploding with scintillating acidity, folded over undertones of blueberry. The finish lasts longer than you can resist taking another sip.
Notes: Drink this wine young, now. Goldeneye is a label of the Duckhorn Wine Company.
Occasion and Pairing: President Obama had this paired with these duck and pheasant recipes. Hoard this wine jealously. Drink it alone or with close, Pinot-appreciating friends.
