2010 | Goldeneye | Ten Degrees Pinot Noir

The 2010 Ten Degrees captures the rich diversity of Anderson Valley Estate program. From its dark, brooding color to its aromas of cinnamon and white pepper, this is a wine that displays both power and poise. On the palate, it is round and rich with a dark fruit core. As it opens, layers of raspberry, espresso and bittersweet chocolate reveal themselves, all supported by balanced oak and acid. Sweet cigar box notes linger on the finish, extending the length of this deep, nuanced wine.

Producer Information

Goldeneye is a California wine producer located in Anderson Valley, known for producing high-quality Pinot Noir from estate vineyards. The winery was founded in 1996 by Dan and Margaret Duckhorn of Duckhorn Vineyards in Napa Valley. Goldeneye harvested its first grapes in 1997, producing a mere 375 cases of wine. Today, it has one of the largest Pinot Noir programs in the region. The estate is made up of four vineyards, spanning 81 hectares (200 acres) of land. The Narrows Vineyard is the northernmost of these, and its position near the Pacific makes it one of the coolest. The Split Rail and Gowan Creek vineyards are located in the heart of Anderson Valley, where they come under the influence of the coastal fog, and the southernmost site, the Confluence Vineyard, lies at the headwaters of the Navarro River and is the most protected from coastal influences. A single-vineyard cuvée is made from each of the four sites, and Goldeneye also make an Anderson Valley Pinot Noir and the flagship, Ten Degrees. This wine is named after the difference in temperature between the estate's northernmost and southernmost vineyards, and is made from the best fruit from the four vineyards. It is aged 16 months in 100 percent new French oak. Goldeneye also produces a Brut Rosé sparkling wine from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as a still Gewürztraminer from the Confluence Vineyard, and a Pinot Gris from the Split Rail Vineyard. Goldeneye falls under the Duckhorn portfolio of wines (itself owned by TSG Consumer Partners – a private equity company based in San Francisco) which includes the Sonoma-based Kosta Browne Winery in Sabastopol. Duckhorn became publicly traded company in March 2021.
