2020 Goldeneye Anderson Valley Pinot Noir The Narrows Vineyard
Situated on a narrow ridgetop at the northernmost tip of the Anderson Valley, The Narrows Vineyard is a historic mountain ranch planted with mature Pinot Noir vines. A mere 10 miles from the rugged Mendocino Coast, this vineyard is affected by strong marine influences that produce summer fog and cooler daytime temperatures. It is the perfect setting for growing grapes of great intensity that embody the vineyard’s rugged beauty and wildness.

Vintage Notes
Located in the cold “deep end” of the Anderson Valley, The Narrows has yielded a complex Pinot Noir with fascinating aromas of blackberry, salted caramel, leather, redwood bark, fresh oregano and moist, mineral-laden earth. On the palate, this ever-evolving wine is both cerebral and soulful, with velvety tannins and seamless acidity adding depth and dimension to lush layers of black cherry, pomegranate, Darjeeling tea, spearmint and exotic spices.
