Dry red wine, 75cl. Medium bodied 100% Pinot Noir from California, USA. 14.5% ABV.
Combining the lush fruit of our warmer estate vineyards with the rustic elegance of grapes from the cooler "deep end" of the valley, this wine offers a beautifully complete expression of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. On the palate, lively flavours of wild strawberry and cherry are in perfect harmony, with terroir-driven hints of saddle leather, anise, pennyroyal and wild mushrooms, as well as notes of confectionary spices and vanilla from aging in the finest French oak.
Producer Profile Goldeneye
Goldeneye was founded in 1996, years before the Pinot Noir boom that has reshaped the landscape of California winemaking. But the genesis for Goldeneye goes back even further. In 1990, after fifteen years of making world-class Bordeaux-varietal wines, Dan and Margaret Duckhorn embraced their growing love of Pinot Noir. Their vision for Goldeneye was simple - though not easy. They wanted to found a winery that could make a terroir-inspired expression of California Pinot Noir of equal stature to the acclaimed Merlots they had pioneered at Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa Valley.
