Eyrie Vineyards Daphne Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 (750ML)

95 Points, Erin Brooks, Wine Advocate: "Pale to medium ruby-purple in color, the 2016 Pinot Noir Daphne Vineyard has a nose of red currants, dried cranberries, red cherries and blueberries with accents of tree bark, salami, Earl Grey tea leaves, violet, dusty earth and peppercorn. Medium-bodied and silky, the palate offers intense, perfumed fruits with a finely grained frame and fantastic freshness calling you in for another sip, finishing long and floral. This is so beautiful!"

96 Points, James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: "The most elevated and exposed site for Eyrie, this has lean soils, too, and the yields are low. The nose has a very blue-fruit focus with blueberries and blue plums, as well as violets and an attractive thread of mountain herbs. The palate is very succulent, super juicy and vibrant with such focus and energy. Blue fruits pervade sleek, lithe tannins. Long and fresh. Just beautiful pinot. Try from 2023." 07/19
