Happy Harry’s Direct Offer No. 33

In 1996, building on their tradition of excellence established at Duckhorn Vineyards, and their growing love of Pinot Noir, Dan and Margaret Duckhorn came to Anderson Valley to found Goldeneye. Anderson Valley has since earned acclaim as one of the world’s greatest Pinot Noir regions. 

Everyone has heard of and possibly tasted Duckhorn’s highly acclaimed Goldeneye Pinot Noir from Anderson Valley—Happy Harry’s was fortunate to obtain a more reserved offering from their Gowen Creek Vineyard. 

Located in the heart of the Anderson Valley, the Gowan Creek Vineyard features a unique terroir with elements from the valley’s warmer regions and its cooler, northern “deep end.” Offering an ideal southwestern exposure, and an array of unique vineyard blocks planted with clones of Pinot Noir carefully tailored to each site and soil type. The expressive wine produced from these vines displays beautiful inky depth and robust untamed fruit flavors.

The 2019 Anderson Valley growing season produced one of the most exceptional vintages in Goldeneye’s three-decade history. A dry winter and cool, wet spring delayed budbreak until the first week of April. This was followed by ideal temperate weather in late spring and summer, which ensured an excellent fruit set and veraison, as well as a long, measured growing season. The length and quality of the growing season ensured that they had numerous beautiful lots to choose from when blending, resulting in wines with vibrant aromatics, bold textures and wonderful complexity and richness.

Be one of the first to enjoy this delectable Pinot Noir in the state of North Dakota or save it to impress your friends and family at your holiday dinner table!
