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.

The 2021 Pinot Noir from Domaine Eden also includes about 10% declassified fruit from the Mount Eden estate. It comes from a mix of the greatest hits of clones—777, Rhys, Mt. Eden, Calera, 828—and underwent native fermentation with 15-20% whole clusters. The result is beautifully rendered and especially elegant, presenting a lifted, heady portrait of floral red and blue fruit and sweet spices. Soft and welcoming, there’s ample flesh on its bones, finishing with a long and sensual candied blood orange tone. This is all about textural harmony.
