2022 Goldeneye Pinot Noir Ten Degrees

A cuvée originally released in 2006, the 2022 Pinot Noir Ten Degrees brings together roughly 10 of the best barrels of the vintage, the name coming from the temperature difference between the producer’s Confluence Vineyard and its Narrows Vineyard in the Deep End of the valley. It was aged in 100% new oak until 2019, but that percentage has been gradually going down every year and is now at 50% and is thus less oak-forward. Combining the most inspiring portions of each estate – not only Confluence and Narrows but Gowan Creek – it’s a reserve-tier wine of tremendous richness and full-bodied intensity, layered in blackberry, baking spice, and supple tannins. Drink now through 2032.
