Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir 2016

$44

Fantastic new Pinot from Sonoma's famed Dutton Ranch! After working closely together as winemaker and grape grower since 1990, Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield merged their talents to create Dutton-Goldfield Winery in 1998. Their mission is to produce vineyard-designated Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from their home in the western Russian River Valley. The wines express the unique qualities of fruit from hand-selected vineyards and the work of an appreciative winemaker, and this brand new release certainly showcases that. The Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir has deep black fruit character, while the nose greets you with lilacs, followed by black cherry, dark chocolate and a streak of blueberry. In the mouth, the black cherry dominates the core of sweetness, complemented by black tea, raspberry and fine-grained tannins. The richness of the wine makes it a perfect match for foie gras, glazed duck, barbecued shrimp, eggplant parmesan and Jarlsberg and Asiago cheeses.

Nose has warm earth. Slightly green bing cherry with a mix of maraschino cherry and a touch of dirt. Needs some time to open and a free a few years it would be even better

Velvety and a good happy medium between earth and a bit of fruit.

Nicely balanced but a bit heavy for a Pinot noir

A gorgeous Pinot Noir from my favorite region with notes of dark red fruit, cherry, and blackberry with a little smoke. Light-bodied with a smooth clean finish.
