2021 Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Cerise Vineyard

Located high in the heart of Anderson Valley, the steep, southwest-facing slopes of the famed Cerise Vineyard rise in elevation from 700 to 1,700 feet, creating one of our most unique and intriguing vineyards. Echoing the untamed, rustic beauty of the site, Cerise produces a singular expression of Pinot Noir with a robust structure, vibrant layers of lush red fruit, and savory dried herb, earth and meat undertones.

  • The famed Cerise Vineyard has yielded a plush and beautifully age-worthy wine with entrancing aromas of red berries, white flowers, fresh thyme, saddle leather and rich mahogany. On the sultry and well-structured palate, rich, refined tannins frame pure flavors of Rainier cherry and spice as they glide to a long, luxurious finish.

BACKSTORY

Goldeneye Winery was founded in 1996, years before the Pinot Noir boom that has reshaped the landscape of California winemaking. But the genesis for Goldeneye goes back even further. In 1990, after fifteen years of making world-class Bordeaux-varietal wines, Dan and Margaret Duckhorn embraced their growing love of Pinot Noir. Their vision for Goldeneye was simple, though not easy. They wanted to found a winery that could make a terroir-inspired expression of California Pinot Noir of equal stature to the acclaimed Merlots they had pioneered at Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa Valley.
