Domaine Eden Pinot Noir 2018

A perfumed, violet-scented, floral bouquet is generous and alluring. The palate is intense with a strong core of red fruit, moderate tannins, and fresh, energetic acidity. The all-important finish is long and expansive foretelling a great evolution in the bottle.

Domaine Eden is a mountaintop wine estate purchased by Mount Eden Vineyards in 2007. Modeled after Mount Eden, it was founded and built by the late Tom Mudd in 1983, who initially planted the Mount Eden clonal selections of Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon, which evolved to include Pinot Noir from various Dijon and California selections. This is the former home of Cinnabar Winery. This property inspired a new wine brand, Domaine Eden, which focuses on Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from this special site and Bordeaux varieties from Mount Eden’s larger home, the Santa Cruz Mountains.
