Winemaker Notes

The pinnacle of our portfolio, Ten Degrees showcases our four estate vineyards to express the beauty and elegance of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. Highlighting the lush texture of our Confluence Vineyard, the richness and opulent dark fruit of Gowan Creek, the structure, and intensity of Split Rail, and the wild, rustic character of The Narrows, Ten Degrees is an impeccably balanced and age-worthy wine that reveals itself in complex layers. Notes of leather, spice, currant and blueberry glide across the silky palate, finishing with a hint of pennyroyal and a kiss of toasty oak.

Professional Ratings

    Sharply defined and nicely focused, the 2014 Goldeneye Ten Degrees Pinot Noir exhibits impressive black fruit flavors that stay just where the grape variety belongs. Pert and well-built, with just a touch of oak, a subtle accent of sweet tannins, and bright minerality, this wine is as close to being a picture-perfect example of the AVA as one can find. Pair with lamb chops with a balsamic reduction. (Tasted: March 6, 2017, San Francisco, CA)

    Rich, but also subtle, this full-bodied wine smells like wood smoke, baking spices, ripe plums and red cherries, then brings mulled cherry and cinnamon flavors on a broad, velvety texture. It offers nuances of oak in the spices, and a confident sense of pure fruit behind it all, giving this bottling a slight edge over the other 2014 Pinots from Goldeneye. It will be best after 2021.

Goldeneye, California
Goldeneye Goldeneye Winery Video
The Goldeneye winery is dedicated to the production of world class Pinot Noir wines. It is located in the heart of Anderson Valley along the migratory pathway of the common Goldeneye duck.

In 1997, Goldeneye harvested its first grapes, a modest seven tons of estate fruit, yielding 375 cases of wine. After a decade of research, planning and experimentation, Goldeneye's inaugural vintage was announced in March of 2000. By focusing on the careful cultivation of its estate vineyards, Goldeneye has been able to grow, while still remaining true to its philosophy of being a small, quality-driven winery.

Founded on a commitment to quality, Goldeneye brings the tradition of viticultural excellence established by Duckhorn Vineyards in the Napa Valley to the Pinot Noirs of the Anderson Valley. With each new vintage, Goldeneye continues its evolution toward becoming one of the world's premier producers of Pinot Noir.

Anderson Valley, located in Mendocino County just above Sonoma County, is one of California’s coolest AVAs, allowing it a long growing season. Only 15 miles long, the region makes a slice eastward through the mountains, from the frigid Pacific Ocean. Dramatic diurnal temperature variations here preserve grape acidity and thus freshness in the finished wines. These are prime conditions for growing Pinot Noir, and the valley produces many fine versions. Characteristics of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir typically include crisp acidity, cranberry and strawberry notes as well as earthy notes of forest floor and mushroom.

Still Pinot Noir, however, is only part of the story. Pinot Noir, along with Chardonnay, are also grown for Anderson Valley’s exceptional sparkling wines. Produced via the traditional method, these offer a classic toasty note from lees aging, bright, complex fruit notes and a clean, refreshing character.
