The Story
Goldeneye Ten Degrees Pinot Noir 2021 represents the pinnacle of the winery's Anderson Valley program. Aromas of black cherry, wild raspberry, plum, rose petal, forest floor, and baking spice rise from the glass. Rich and impeccably structured, the palate reveals layers of dark berry fruit, earthy complexity, silky tannins, and vibrant acidity. Powerful yet elegant, it finishes exceptionally long with remarkable depth, precision, and aging potential.
Food Pairing: Roast duck, grilled salmon, venison, mushroom risotto, pork tenderloin, and aged Gruyère.
2021 Vintage Ratings
95 Points - James Suckling
Exceptionally supple and infused with black fruit, this full-bodied wine goes deep in flavor and broad in texture. Blueberries, creme de cassis, vanilla bean, coconut flakes and cinnamon mingle on the palate, leading to a lingering finish. Full but soft tannins give a gentle feel despite the wine's power.
93 Points - Jeb Dunnuck
The 2021 Pinot Noir Ten Degrees is lush, opulent, and fruit-forward, with underlying savory components that never overwhelm, complementing instead. Black cherry, baking spice, and hint of vanilla form the core of its full-bodied profile, with toasted oak playing around the edges. The wine is sourced from several estate sites, Confluence, Gowan Creek, and The Narrows, each single-vineyard designates of their own.
90 Points - Wine Spectator
A ripe and direct crowd-pleaser, with a burst of mulberry and loganberry paste flavors backed by red licorice and sweet toast on the finish. Offers enough energy to carry off its toast. Drink now through 2027. 750 cases made.
