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 and the wine’s popularity has taken off from there. Anderson Valley was selected combining spectacular California fruit richness with a cooler climate adding complexity, elegance, layering and length we all desire from the finest Pinot Noir. Winemaker is the passionate and extremely talented Kristen McMahan who’s love of Pinot Noir can be tasted in every bottle she makes. Kristen also gained invaluable experience with cool-climate Pinot Noir working for Joseph Phelps’s Freestone Winery on the Sonoma Coast. Cali Pinot Lovers. This Is An Unbelievably Good Buy.

Lush, layered and complex, this enticing Pinot Noir draws you in with aromas of ripe raspberry and black cherry, as well as notions of pennyroyal, clove and sweet baking spices. On the palate supple tannins and elegantly balanced acidity frame juicy flavors of blackberry and Bing cherry, with savory hints of nutmeg, leather and breakfast tea emerging on the long, robust finish.
