2022 Goldeneye Gowen Creek Vineyard Pinot Noir, Anderson Valley

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. The Duckhorn Portfolio of wines has increased in quality in recent years. Goldeneye is among the finest Pinot Noir produced in the Anderson Valley AVA.

The Goldeneye Pinot Noir Gowen Creek Vineyard is an incredible wine. The 2022 vintage from this estate vineyard produced a Pinot Noir that is so delicious with a complexity and richness that places this wine at the top of the list in the Anderson Valley AVA. The glistening ruby color and vibrant aromatics are stunning! Immediately you begin the experience of how serious and thoroughly enjoyable this wine is. Aromas of ripe red raspberry, baking spices, cassis, cola and a hint of pipe tobacco quickly rise from the glass. The palate is vivid with warm dark berries, a creamy core and finely grained, silky tannins. There is terrific depth and balance to this wine with refreshing acidity that wraps around the finish. It remains long, generous and is utterly memorable. I tasted this Pinot Noir twice and it showed consistent results.
