A premium Anderson Valley Pinot Noir from Goldeneye Winery, part of the Duckhorn Portfolio. Founded in 1996 by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn, Goldeneye is dedicated to crafting exceptional cool-climate Pinot Noir from California's Anderson Valley in Mendocino County. This wine showcases the region's defined character with aromas of penny royal, ripe cherry and subtle hints of chanterelle mushrooms. On the palate, it offers beautifully balanced flavors of blackberry, leather and breakfast tea, with smooth tannins and refreshing acidity.

The wine is crafted predominantly from estate vineyards shaped by the influence of coastal wind, water and fog, creating an elegant yet deeply complex Pinot Noir that embodies Anderson Valley's rustic beauty. Tasting notes reveal nice red fruit and clove on the nose with a pale ruby color, flavors of raspberry, cherry and blackberry accented by notes of vanilla and spice, and an earthy finish. This wine has earned consistent critical acclaim, including a 92-point rating from James Suckling and 95 points from Wine Enthusiast for the 2020 vintage. Aged in French oak barrels with more than 40% new oak, resulting in subtle oak nuances that complement the fruit. At 14.2% alcohol by volume, this super food-friendly wine pairs beautifully with a wide range of dishes and is an excellent choice for special occasions.
