Alpha Rev - New Morning

Half Greek, half Latin, the words pulled together loosely mean “the beginning of something new.”

Formed in 2005 in Austin, TX, Alpha Rev came together as the brainchild of singer/songwriter Casey McPherson after the breakup of his previous band, Endochine.

After signing with Hollywood Records in 2008, McPherson and Alpha Rev entered the studio to work on their second full-length album “New Morning”, produced by the Grammy-winning David Kahne and released the album in 2010.

Already piquing interest, the band’s songs have been featured on Bravo’s NYC Prep, the ABC Family hit Greek, ABC Brother’s and Sister’s, VH1's The OCD Project, and the CW’s Melrose Place.

In April 2010, Alpha Rev was named VH1's newest "You Oughtta Know" Artist.

Goldeneye- Pinot Noir

Goldeneye began making premium quality, cool climate Pinot Noir from our estate winery in the Anderson Valley in 1997. Blending grapes from five estate vineyards, we are dedicated to crafting wines of refinement and elegance from a rich palette of terroir-inspired fruit. Reflecting the Mendocino Coast’s unique marine influences, sites and soils, these grapes create sublime and sophisticated Pinot Noir. To further enhance natural depth and complexity, winemaker Zach Rasmuson selects only a small percentage of the finest fruit for each vintage before applying small-lot, artisanal winemaking techniques. The wine see’s 16 months in 100% French oak barrels. The Goldeneye is 100% pinot noir.

Comments from the Winemaker Zach Rasmuson

A product of the exceptional 2007 growing season, this medium-weight Pinot Noir reflects the depth and diversity of great Anderson Valley winegrowing, combining excellent structure and acidity, with layered fruit and firm tannins. Sophisticated aromas of star anise, morel mushrooms and toasty oak segue to enticing ripe berry and bittersweet chocolate notes, underscored by hints of black licorice and truffle. A marriage of strength and harmony, this Pinot Noir should age very well.
