2007 Shop Blanc Pinot Blanc (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

Our winemaking goal with this special 2007 offering was to bring out the wonderful fresh and palate-cleansing nature of true Pinot Blanc. To that end, we fermented the wine in a small stainless steel portotank at a cool 50 degrees F. This retains the fresh esters of fermentation and the central core of fruit and mineral character of the varietal. We also employed an Alsatian yeast strain that showcases the high tone aromatics that are so inviting in this wine. We allowed malolactic fermentation to proceed part way in order to bring out a bit of extra richness, but not to completion so as to preserve the fresh acidity of the grape. The wine was bottled after six months of stainless steel aging in the cellar.The wine shows enticing mineral enhanced stone fruit and blossoms in the nose, vivid peach and citrus in the mouth, and the slight phenolic edge that lends the wine its cleansing freshness. This is a wine that keeps you wanting more, and is just perfect for enjoying on bright spring days on the deck, either by itself or paired with everything from fresh salads and appetizers to light summer dinners of petrale sole, shrimp stir-fry, or grilled vegetables to even spicy exotic fare.110 cases produced.

2005 Cherry Ridge Vineyard Syrah (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

Cherry Ridge juts out over the west side of Green Valley, facing south just north the Petaluma Wind Gap. It is both wonderfully scenic, and a great place to grow grapes. The long, cool 2005 vintage was perfect for the style of Syrah that we at Dutton-Goldfield love-bright fruit, ripe silky tannins, and food loving acid/alcohol balance. In the glass you can immediately see its saturation in the deep ruby color that's so intrinsic to great syrah. In the nose it offers the bright berries and spice of its Russian River heritage, while holding onto the tones of leather and plum that are innate to this varietal. The long wood aging adds overtones of cinnamon and baking spices. In the mouth, the blueberry and raspberry fruit meld beautifully with the plush, silky tannins and bright acidity. This is a wine we love with richer meats, savory sauces and a wealth of cheeses like aged Gouda and Gruyere, or a rich Spanish sheep offering. 411 cases. Buy now.

2006 Morelli Lane Vineyard Zinfandel (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

The long, cool 2006 growing season well suited the old vines at Morelli Lane, giving them plenty of time to perfectly ripen. Picked on October 27th of that year, this wine displays the soft elegance and bright raspberry/cherry fruit that makes it so prized. The 2006 is a particularly easy drinking version of the old vine zin, with its moderate alcohol, exceptionally supple tannins and bright acidity. On the nose it shows the classic Morelli frambois, coupled with lots of bing cherry and some toasty overtones. It follows with candied cherry along with a bit of allspice and toffee in the mouth, and lingers with sweet tannins and berry fruit. Its elegant balance yields a zin perfect for pairing with foods like lasagna, many cheese, and just abut anything off the barbeque. 248 cases. Buy now.

2006 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

Dan and Steve select their favorite Dutton Ranch vineyards to craft a wine reflecting our vision of classic Russian River Valley Chardonnay. The vineyards we choose are based on our desire to offer wines with fruit intensity, great acid structure and richness, even after full barrel and malolactic fermentation. Our dry farmed, low yielding old chardonnay vines served us beautifully in the long, cool 2006 vintage. Their thick skins and high acid held beautifully this season and gave us a classic Dutton Ranch Chard, with its crisp fruit, great structure and moderate alcohol. Lush pear and vivid citrus aromas lead in the nose, followed by fresh cream and toffee overtones. In the mouth, the candied lime and citrus elements shine through, supported by creamy caramel undertones and fresh acidity. This is a wine of balance, freshness and personality. Enjoy it on its own to start an evening, or with everything from hors d'oevres to roasted fowl, sautéed fish and grilled pork. 3,974 cases. Buy now.

2005 Sanchietti Vineyard Pinot Noir (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

An exceptional vintage in an exceptional vineyard would be the synopsis of the 2005 Sanchietti Pinot. 2005 was just the sort of year that Sanchietti loves-lots of spring moisture, moderate set (10 tons off of 6 acres), and a long, cool ripening season. The thin soil pushes the vines quickly at the end of the season, so the cool fall provided the fruit extra hang time and wonderful ripeness, both in flavors and texture. The hallmark of Sanchietti for us is its enthralling combination of grace and power, and the 2005 offering certainly exemplifies this. In the nose it leads with dark blueberry fruit, violets, and a hint of black tea, all with a touch of extra concentration courtesy of this vintage. In the mouth bright berry and black cherry shine through along with concentrated, finely structured tannins and ginger spice. This a wine that is clearly packed tightly and well built for aging, but its silkiness and candied finish are enticing already. Enjoy it over a long dinner of veal Cordon Bleu, truffle risotto, or Moscovy duck breast. 343 cases produced. Buy now.

2005 McDougall Vineyard Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)

The late spring rains brought poor set conditions to the Sonoma Coast in 2005, but fortunately excellent ripening weather followed. Because the vineyard is fairly protected, McDougall actually did better than many at just 1 ton an acre at harvest. The combination of low fruit yield, but a long, cool ripening period imparted both intensity and balance to the vintage. This is a wine that benefited from all of its 17 months in barrel, and will continue to do so with long aging in the bottle. In the glass it shows the vivid Bing cherry, candied cranberry and mineral elements that we so love in this vineyard. With further time in the glass, the overtones of Asian spices and an almost peaty element lift the core of fruit. In the mouth, the voluptuous fruit is balanced by bright acidity, and a solid structure for food pairing and aging potential. The tannins are particularly fine and sweet, resulting from the long ripening season. This is a Pinot to pair with a great filet, sharp (but not funky) cheeses, or a well made coq au vin. 250 cases produced. Buy now.

2005 Freestone Hill Vineyard Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

Its ebullient fruit and alluring spice immediately entice you into this wine. This is a vineyard that needs perfect October weather to mature its thick skins, and when it gets it, rewards with a striking combination of unctuous structure, lively fruit, and wonderful acid/alcohol balance. Boysenberry and blackberry are the dominant fruit characters, but there's also a sappiness and overlay of baking spices that takes it to another level. In the mouth, the sweet, ripe tannins frame the fruit, and the moderate alcohol allows the fresh berry to linger through the finish. The allure of this wine is that it provides the depth and dark tones that we've come to love in coastal pinot, but retains the liveliness that keeps us coming back to the glass. This is clearly a wine that has many years ahead of it, but the sweet fruit makes it a great pairing for game bird, veal chops, and rich fish dishes right now. 361 cases produced. 96 points, Wine Enthusiast.

2006 Shop Blanc Pinot Blanc (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

A new addition to the Dutton-Goldfield portfolio! When the Duttons decided to replant the old Shop Block French Colombard at their original home ranch, Pinot Blanc was a natural choice for this cold valley site. The classic Green Valley conditions of cold, foggy nights and sunny days enhances the varietal's aromatics, bright acidity, and cleansing minerality. Our 2006 Pinot Blanc is crisp and fresh, with juicy apricot and peach aromas and steely just-picked apple flavors. It's a racy, bright wine, cool and refreshing for sipping on a hot summer afternoon or evening. The fact that it's barrel fermented imparts a bit of thickness in the mouth, but the lack of new wood allows the clean fruit to shine through to the refreshing finish. This wine's bright freshness makes it truly versatile, great for enjoying on its own by the pool or hot tub (just chill slightly), or with everything from salads and appetizers to light summer dinners of petrale sole, shrimp stir-fry, and grilled vegetables. 112 cases produced.

2005 Rued Vineyard Chardonnay (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

In 2005, Mother Nature gave Russian River the kind of year we always hope for, but don't often get. We had early budbreak, then great vine growth from late spring rains; perfect flowering conditions for the chards, followed by a cool summer and moderate, dry late harvest weather. Consequently, the fruit ripened slowly and evenly; retaining its acid while building flavor and concentration. We were rewarded with a Rued offering of particular density, balance and longevity, even for this vineyard. It draws one in with aromas of pear, lychee, lilac, ginger and toffee. In the mouth it continues the orgy of opulence, but balanced with moderate alcohol and bright acidity which enables the fresh spiced pear and tropical fruit to shine through to the finish. Clearly this is a special vintage of a special wine for us. Dan loves nothing more than great aged chardonnays, and this one should certainly fit that bill in 5 to 15 years. In the meantime, it will show wonderfully now with almost any lobster or crab dish, or a roasted game bird. 564 cases. 95 points, Wine Enthusiast. Buy now.

2005 Russian River Valley Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

The long, cool 2005 harvest season produced zinfandel fruit that wonderfully suited our style at Dutton-Goldfield: fruit with great physiological ripeness at moderate sugar, and balanced acidity. The resulting wine shows the tremendous lushness and vibrancy for which zin is so prized, while maintaining an elegant balance not often seen in the varietal. This is a wine that is consistent from first sniff to the long, deep cherry finish. Throughout, it shows depth, dark enticing fruit, and soft candied overtones. In the nose, the black cherry, toffee and floral notes draw you in. In the mouth, its cherry and boysenberry fruit give a real perception of sweetness, enhanced by soft tannins and spicy wood notes. Its moderate alcohol allows the freshness and complexity of this wine to shine through, as well as helping it to be excellent for pairing with anything from pasta dishes and roasted meats to Parmesan and Manchego cheese and dark chocolate brownies. 507 cases produced.

2005 Morelli Lane Vineyard Zinfandel (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

The winemaker's feelings on this year's Morelli are simple: if no one else loves it (unlikely) he'll drink it all, and he's well on his way. The 2005 early budbreak and late spring rains resulted in great vine growth, and the naturally late flowering zin occurred in perfect weather. The cool summer and dry, sunny late harvest weather provided unusually even ripening and beautifully balanced fruit. Beyond the classic Morelli frambois on the nose, the 2005 offers layers of candied cherries, bramble and shaved chocolate. Its opulent aromatic ripeness almost makes the bright, crystalline fruit in the mouth a surprise. The immediate impression is of candied raspberry and plush tannins, but it is the bright acidity and balanced alcohol that carry the fresh berry, floral and toffee finish. This is the rare zinfandel that can be enjoyed with a variety of foods without dominating or fatiguing the palate. Try it with everything from steak to mildly spicy fish dishes, and sharp cheeses like cheddar and Fontina. The balance of this wine would certainly allow it to age another 10 years, but why bother. 257 cases. 90 points, Wine & Spirits. Buy now.

2005 Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

2005 was the kind of vintage that showcases what Russian River Pinot Noir is all about: vibrant fruit, substantial structure, and luscious mouthfeel. In 2005 we had early budbreak and great vine growth from late spring rains. Flowering weather was spotty on the coast, but kinder in Green Valley, leaving us a balanced crop and healthy vines. The cool summer, with no substantial heat spikes, was followed by dry and sunny late harvest weather. The resulting fruit had a wonderful balance between acidity, skin ripeness and sugar development, and this balance clearly shows in the wines. The 2005 Dutton Ranch Pinot simply exclaims its Russian River heritage in the nose; with bright black cherry, dried strawberry and lilac overtones. In the mouth it continues with a wonderfully sweet cherry middle, surrounded by fat, supple tannins and nutmeg/coriander spice elements. This is a hedonistic wine whose balance belies its lingering intensity and substantial concentration. A hugely versatile food wine, it might be particularly suited to salmon dishes, roasted fowl, and medium intensity cheeses like Gruyere or Asiago. 2,784 cases. 92 points, Wine & Spirits. SOLD OUT.

2005 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

2005 was a textbook year for our old chardonnay vineyards. We had an early budbreak and great vine growth from late spring rains. Flowering weather was perfect for the chards, followed by a cool summer and excellent, dry late harvest weather. The gift of the season was obvious in fruit with ripe flavors, good acidity, moderate sugar and no rot. The resulting wine shows what we love about Dutton Ranch Chard. In the nose the classic lemon cream pie jumps out, with overtones of caraway seed, ginger and a touch of tangerine. In the mouth its core of citrus fruit and bright acid is nestled in a setting of creamy ginger spice that provides a beautiful balance and lingering finish. This is a wine of great versatility: enjoy it as an aperitif, or with rich and creamy foods that benefit from a focused, refreshing counterpoint. 3,389 cases. SOLD OUT.

2004 Sanchietti Vineyard Pinot Noir (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

The hallmark of Sanchietti for us is its enthralling combination of grace and power, possibly the fusion that defines great pinot. While lively, bright, floral and silky, it also has an underlying depth and structure that makes you keep wanting another sip. Its rich tannins and moderate alcohol make also make it a great wine for aging. The 2004 offering leads with aromas of blueberries, black cherry and violets, which continues to expand and develop as the wine opens in the glass.

In the mouth, it's bright, sweet and mouth-filling, with rich raspberry, candied cherry, cinnamon and forest floor notes.

2004 Russian River Valley Zinfandel (Russian River Valley)

The warm harvest of 2004 was perfect for zinfandel, especially the old vines of Feeney Ranch.

2004 Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley)

2004 was a year with good set but low fruitfulness due to the poor 2003 bud development, so a low crop year. The cool summer was followed by a heat spike in late August, and another lasting all through September, with fruit coming in a tidal wave like never before. The long season and warm harvest impart a very deep black fruit character, while the gentle winemaking enhanced the delicate floral nature of our neighborhood. 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. 2,490 cases produced. 92 points, Wine Enthusiast.

2004 Morelli Lane Vineyard Zinfandel (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

The low yield and warm harvest of 2004 perfectly suited the old vines at Morelli. In this cool area the zin loves the heat, which promoted great tannin ripeness and rewarded us with a wine of particular lushness, even for this vineyard. Raspberries, blueberries and cream jump out of the glass as soon as you pour the wine. It's remarkable that something so fresh and vivid comes from vines so old and gnarled. With time in the glass, the deep black cherry, bramble and floral notes emerge. In the mouth it offers a rare freshness and suppleness for the varietal, along with plush berry fruit and a touch of bramble and bittersweet chocolate. Its bright fruit carries through to the finish, thanks to the moderate alcohol and lively acidity. Wonderfully easy to drink, it's perfect with everything from a steak off the barbecue and roasted poultry to grilled swordfish and assertive cheeses. 206 cases produced. 92 points and a Year's Best Zinfandel, Wine & Spirits.

2004 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Green Valley-Russian River Valley)

2004 brought us an early budbreak, and a warm summer and harvest season. It was a year where the old vineyards of Green Valley showed their worth. In the frenzy of a warm harvest, the old, cold vines maintain their acidity, fruit focus and brightness, and our 2004 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay shows these characteristics. It is a year where the core of citrus is overlaid by pear and stone fruits, and the nose displays spice and poppy seed overtones. The wine is particularly lush, while still displaying the focused lime and tangerine notes that we expect from Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. This is a wine to pair with your most indulgent foods-from pâtés and fresh mozzarella to escargots, salmon with a caper aioli and fettuccini Alfredo. 2,565 cases produced. 94 points and Editors' Choice, Wine Enthusiast.
