2023 Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir Split Rail

Our Split Rail Pinot Noir comes from the cool western edge of the Anderson Valley, where coastal fog and wind lengthen the growing season, allowing the grapes to slowly develop silky tannins and beautifully intense flavors of fruit and spice. Blended from multiple clones to accentuate its layered complexity, it is lush and flowing on the palate, offering alluring notes of juicy boysenberry, black raspberry, pennyroyal, anise and sweet baking spices.

  • From the windswept western edge of Anderson Valley, this expressive Pinot Noir opens with vivid aromas of juniper, pennyroyal, coastal salinity, and a touch of worn leather. On the palate, a plush, full-bodied texture carries layered flavors of red currant, saturn peach, and a hint of hops, with firm structure guiding a juicy cranberry finish that lingers with clarity and grace.

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.
