2023 Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Gowan Creek Vineyard

Located in the heart of the Anderson Valley, our Gowan Creek Vineyard features a unique terroir with elements from the valley’s warmer regions and its cooler, northern “deep end.” Offering an ideal southwestern exposure, and an array of unique vineyard blocks planted with clones of Pinot Noir carefully tailored to each site and
soil type. The expressive wine produced from these vines displays beautiful inky depth and robust untamed fruit flavors.

  • From our estate Gowan Creek Vineyard, this expressive Pinot Noir opens with vivid aromas of pennyroyal, sage, juniper, and a hint of new leather. The palate is bold and full-bodied, with firm tannins and juicy notes of black currant, marionberry, and black plum. Bright acidity and a sanguine edge add lift and depth to the long, focused 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.
