Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

A classic expression of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir, this wine begins with enticing aromas of bright cranberry, strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry, as well as savory hints of black tea, dried herbs, pennyroyal, and saddle leather. The lush fruit notes are echoed on the flavorful palate, where they mingle with layers of moist earth and wild mushrooms, with firm tannins and bright acidity carrying the wine to a poised and polished finish.

Blend: 100% Pinot Noir

Professional Ratings

  • 93

    Smooth, polished and with harmonious flavors, this full-bodied, rich wine boasts a solid core of black cherry and black currant notes accented by light tea leaf, redwood duff, vanilla and nutmeg. It is smooth, mouthfilling and delicious.

  • 91

    Red and black cherry, rosemary and white pepper on the nose. Medium-to full-bodied with well-integrated tannins. Very straightforward and clear on the palate with a pleasant melted-chocolate through-line amongst the dark fruit. Drink now.

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir is precise from start to finish. TASTING NOTES: This wine exhibits lovely aromas and flavors of red fruit, a hint of spice, and sandalwood. Enjoy it with a spit-roasted leg of lamb. (Tasted: August 4, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

Goldeneye, California
Goldeneye Goldeneye Winery Video
The Goldeneye winery is dedicated to the production of world class Pinot Noir wines. It is located in the heart of Anderson Valley along the migratory pathway of the common Goldeneye duck.

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.

Anderson Valley, located in Mendocino County just above Sonoma County, is one of California’s coolest AVAs, allowing it a long growing season. Only 15 miles long, the region makes a slice eastward through the mountains, from the frigid Pacific Ocean. Dramatic diurnal temperature variations here preserve grape acidity and thus freshness in the finished wines. These are prime conditions for growing Pinot Noir, and the valley produces many fine versions. Characteristics of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir typically include crisp acidity, cranberry and strawberry notes as well as earthy notes of forest floor and mushroom.

Still Pinot Noir, however, is only part of the story. Pinot Noir, along with Chardonnay, are also grown for Anderson Valley’s exceptional sparkling wines. Produced via the traditional method, these offer a classic toasty note from lees aging, bright, complex fruit notes and a clean, refreshing character.
