Ten Degrees is the pinnacle of the Duckhorn portfolio, showcasing the depth and diversity of the Anderson Valley estate vineyards. The name Ten Degrees pays homage to the unique, cool climate of Anderson Valley and the fact that even though their four estate vineyards span a modest eight miles, they often display a temperature variance of as much as 10 degrees.

This Pinot Noir opens with a beautiful ruby color that glistens in the glass. There are attractive aromas of red and black cherry, ripe strawberry, cherry cola and candied baking spices, accompanied by hints of rose petal, and forest floor. The palate has a serious flavor density layered with juicy red fruit and fine, silky tannins, but maintains exceptional balance, showing both richness and focus. The finish is long, refined, and elegant with lingering layers of fruit and savory nuance. The 2023 Golden Eye Ten Degrees is a Pinot Noir that is fresh and lively with a structure and serious fruit density that is built for aging. Enjoy now and over the next fifteen to twenty years to come.
