Goldeneye Pinot Noir 'Gowan Creek Vineyard' 2016

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.

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.

Deep and expressive, this beautifully structured Pinot Noir displays luxurious aromas of brambly blackberry and blueberry pie, along with hints of black licorice, anise and pennyroyal. On the palate, robust, mouthcoating tannins add presence and volume to the dark berry fruit flavors, with lovely underlying acidity drawing the wine to a vibrant finish.

94 Points - Wine Enthusiast

This full-bodied and firmly textured wine from perennial standout Goldeneye seems designed for aging, as its firm tannins and fresh acidity buoy abundant flavors of black cherry, clove and cedar. A slight tightness on the palate will help it age and improve through 2025.
