This Split Rail bottling from Goldeneye is far from cheap, but it's also spectacularly complex and delicious. The nose is fully opened up with expressive, gorgeous, red currant, plum and cherry fruit notes, coriander spice, white pepper, and cinnamon notes. It's silky and fresh on the palate with a continuation of those lovely spice notes that carry through the very long finish. Split Rail vineyard has 16 blocks planted to 9 different clones of Pinot Noir and is located in the center of Anderson Valley. Only 348 cases produced. (95 Points)
