97 points Wine Enthusiast, Editors Choice: "My favorite Daphne this side of "Scooby Doo" is a small plot of 50-year-old Pommard vines planted at 820-860 feet in the Dundee Hills. Its refreshing aromas of rose petals, rosemary, plums, pine needles and wet slate lead to flavors like Bing cherries, marjoram, lavender and green tea. Daphne's fleshy texture is joined by bright acidity and silky tannins."
97+ points Jeb Dunnuck, too!
Daphne Vineyard is the second oldest (planted in 1974) and highest elevation (890 feet) of Eyrie's estate vineyards. Daphne's environment is one of extremes: it is exposed, cold and windy; the soil is shallow. The vines are almost bonsai-like and stripped of bark because of the harsh environment (see below); the clusters they produce are tiny. These conditions breed brilliance—and a rare combination of intensity and elegance. Daphne glows and radiates energy, packed with density of aroma and flavor yet, as always, silky and lithe.
