Winemaker Notes
"Leading with deep and nicely formed aromas of sweet cherries and integral oak spice, this big, mouthfilling wine steers to ripeness without forgetting about fruit. Its plushness is balanced by just the right measure of supportive acidity, and it avoids even the least bit of heaviness while being fat and full on the palate. While it can develop further with a few years of age, it is already accessible and will make lovely drinking with likes of a mustard-encrusted rack of lamb."

In 1997, Goldeneye harvested its first grapes, a modest seven tons of estate fruit, yielding 375 cases of wine. After a decade of research, planning and experimentation, Goldeneye's inaugural vintage was announced in March of 2000. By focusing on the careful cultivation of its estate vineyards, Goldeneye has been able to grow, while still remaining true to its philosophy of being a small, quality-driven winery.
Founded on a commitment to quality, Goldeneye brings the tradition of viticultural excellence established by Duckhorn Vineyards in the Napa Valley to the Pinot Noirs of the Anderson Valley. With each new vintage, Goldeneye continues its evolution toward becoming one of the world's premier producers of Pinot Noir.
