Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2021

After a dry winter, we received a bit of welcome rainfall in early March followed by a mild warm-up that helped to push the first buds. By mid-April, all three state vineyards had reached 100%budbreak, with healthy balanced vines throughout the valley. Summer was dry and mild, with a few host days to help promote even ripening. We harvested Chardonnay for our sparkling wine beginning in mid-August, with our first Pinot Noir at the start of September. After a late-August heatwave, harvest began in earnest until a natural cool-down slowed the pace, and our last pick was on October 6th. Another stellar vintage in Anderson Valley, the quality of the fruit was exceptional, producing incredibly concentrated, flavorful  and aromatic wines.
