Dark, brooding cinnamon and fleshy black plum provide an exciting, complex counterpoint to the rakish earthiness and exotic Asian spice going on in this full-bodied, explosively compelling wine, its minerality lingering. It's young and still tightly coiled, with lingering minerality; let it open to enjoy now, but it would show best after some time, so cellar through 2024. Cellar Selection

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The Golden Mean is made exclusively from Pommard and Swan clones. Medium to deep ruby-purple, the 2014 Pinot Noir Golden Mean has a lovely floral nose of violets and roses over a core of red cherries and pomegranate with hints of cinnamon stick and toast. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is packed with perfumed red berry flavors with a solid frame of chewy tannins and seamless freshness, finishing on a spicy note.

A blend that's made from a mix of Pommard and Swan, the 2014 Pinot Noir Golden Mean is another sensational 2014. Incredibly perfumed, with raspberry, violets, peach and floral notes, this beauty is elegant, seamless and pure on the palate, with the good acidity, and a seamlessness that's hard to believe. It picks up more spice and forest floor notes with time in the glass, has a big core of sweet fruit, and impeccable overall balance. It’s great today, but will easily continue drinking nicely through 2026.
Pinot Noir is a renowned red wine grape variety celebrated for its delicate and nuanced flavors. Originating primarily from Burgundy in France, this light to medium-bodied wine showcases vibrant notes of cherry, raspberry, and strawberry, complemented by earthy undertones and subtle spices. The aromas often include floral hints like rose and herbal nuances, with a touch of vanilla derived from aging in French oak barrels.
This versatile wine pairs beautifully with a range of dishes such as grilled salmon, duck breast, or roasted chicken with herbs. Its silky tannins and smooth finish make it an excellent choice for both casual gatherings and formal occasions. Winemaking techniques like cold soaking for color extraction and fermentation with wild yeasts enhance its complexity while malolactic fermentation contributes to its softness, making Pinot Noir a favorite among wine enthusiasts.
