The beauty of Goldeneye’s grape sources in the Anderson Valley is that they deliver fruit that’s always ripe without losing the freshness, minerality and earthiness that make these Pinots so appealing. The 2011 was a difficult vintage yet Goldeneye’s Confluence Vineyard Pinot Noir exhibits impressive palate weight and flavor complexity for the conditions, with dark-fruited aromas dominant and firm grip on the finish.
