Goldeneye began making premium quality Pinot Noir from their estate winery in the Anderson Valley in 1997, with founders Dan and Margaret Duckhorn focused on making a terroir-inspired expression of California Pinot Noir. In the years since, Anderson Valley has earned acclaim as one of the world's greatest regions for Pinot Noir. Crafted predominantly from estate vineyards and shaped by the influence of the wind, water and fog, this wine embodies both the elegance of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, and its deep, rustic beauty.

Tasting Notes

A quintessential Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, this wine is crafted to celebrate the region's defined character, boasting aromas of penny royal, ripe cherry and subtle hints of chanterelle mushrooms. On the palate, it offers a beautifully balanced experience with smooth tannins and refreshing acidity alongside flavors of blackberry, leather and breakfast tea. A reflection of its depth and complexity, it slowly departs with a long, lingering finish. Although the vintage was cool, with some heat spikes and rain, they still managed to produce a dynamic supple, red-berried, crushed herb dynamo, with remnants of oolong black tea on the nose and flavors of strawberry, blood orange zest, and maple with a silky finish.
