The Duckhorn Wine Company purchased the former Obester Winery in Anderson Valley in 1997 and planted 57 acres of Pinot Noir (the Confluence Vineyard). Later, they added additional Anderson Valley vineyard properties and now farm a total of 180 acres in the valley, second only to Roederer Estate's 580 acres. Goldeneye (named for a yellow-eyed waterfowl that occasionally calls Anderson Valley home since it lies on the bird's migratory path) sources fruit from both estate and non-estate vineyards (a total of twelve different vineyards). They have a beautiful visitor center and tasting room open daily. An outdoor area is perfect for picnics. Special tours and tastings are available by appointment.

The Pinot Noir lineup includes: Goldeneye (a blend from all vineyard sources in the Anderson Valley), Migration (a lesser-priced similar wine from declassified juice), and single vineyard estate Pinot Noirs. The wines are sold through a mailing list (very nice offering newsletter) and enjoy widespread retail distribution.
