Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Pinot Noir opens with a black plum bouquet with a hint of black raspberry. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied, balanced and savory. The flavor profile is black raspberry and plum blend with notes of oak. I also detected hints of minerality and black olive towards the end. The finish is dry and its flavors show nice length. This Pinot would pair well with duck confit. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: Our 2016 Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir leads with high-energy fruit aromas of deep, dark black cherry leaping out of the glass. Plush black raspberry notes follow, complemented by a rhubarb earthiness and rose petal floral notes. In the mouth, the wine is both rich and lively, one of our favorite qualities of great Pinots, with juicy blackberry flavors edged with redwood and spice box. The finish is especially succulent, bringing you back for another sip.
