2006 Goldeneye Migration

Goldeneye is probably our favorite winery right now - producing incredible Pinot Noir in the heart of Anderson Valley in Mendocino County.  Goldeneye by far offers the best wine tasting experience we have ever had.  Wine tasting is done directly behind the winery - either seated at tables or in reclining wood chairs on a lawn overlooking the vineyard.  Wine and snacks are brought to you by the staff and each wine comes with a card/coaster with detailed information on each wine.

The last time we visited the winery was back in May, 2009 and we were treated to a complimentary reserve tasting which included the entire flight of wines they produce (Pinots mainly).  We walked away with a club membership.

Their Migration varietal is a blend of their best Pinot grapes from their different vineyards.  It's a great tasting Pinot that is really versatile going well sipping with snacks or with a meal.  Apparently, they will be releasing a Chardonnay for the first time for their 2008 vintage.  If it's half as good as their reds, it should be great.

One of the best Pinot Noir's that I have ever tasted is their Ten Degrees Pinot Noir - which left both Rachel and I really impressed and wanting more.
