2023 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.

  • This expressive Pinot Noir from the renowned Cerise Vineyard opens with vivid aromas of sage, mint, fresh tobacco leaf, wet stone, and a sanguine note. The palate is structured and smooth, with firm tannins framing flavors of bergamot, black walnut, and fresh sage. A medium-bodied wine with a lingering finish that captures the vineyard’s distinctive character.

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.
