The 2021 Pinot Noir is 90% from Domaine Eden, with the remainder both from Mount Eden and some from grower vineyards, all cool-climate sites. It’s made in a rich, softer style than the Mount Eden, with no new oak, instead aged in 2- to 5-year-old barrels used previously for Mount Eden. It tastes of wild mountain strawberry, raspberry and a hint of forest floor, melding together into a seamlessly balanced, medium-bodied expression of great winemaking from great sites. Drink now through 2031.

Dark and intense aromas of plum, graphite, wild thyme and solid show on the nose of this bottling. There's a sizzle of acidity at the tip of the sip, and then come waves of pencil shavings, dark fruit and peppery spices.
 
Winemaker Notes
Traditional, elegant Pinot Noir from vineyards high in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Delicate red pinot fruit gives way to complexity and building tannins that soften with air.  Wonderful balance and structure here that are hallmarks of the Mount Eden wines.
