Reviewed April 2025The 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. (VB)

Wine Advocate
Vibrant aromas of raspberry sherbet, purple flowers, forest floor and lilacs introduce the 2021 Pinot Noir. The palate is slender, fresh and light to medium-bodied, showing lifted, fresh acidity and youthful, mellow tannins on the finish. As always, this is a fantastic value and offers an alluring introduction to Mount Eden's winemaking style. (ML)

Vinous
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. (BN)

Wine Spectator
Rose hip and hibiscus notes lead off, followed quickly by racy bitter cherry and damson plum fruit flavors. The long finish shows a spine of black tea and dried anise. There's nice energy throughout. Drink now through 2032. (JM)
