2014 Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch

The 2014 Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch is from the iconic site that was first planted in 1964 and became one of the top single-vineyards in the Russian River. Crisp pomegranate, red apple-skin notes, cherries and a hint of strawberries make an appearance in the fruit-driven, finely structured, but pleasing, slightly lighter and more elegant and style Pinot Noir compared to the Emerald Ridge Vineyard. This is a pretty, Côte de Beaune-like Pinot to drink over the next 4-5 years.
