Wine Review: This medium garnet colored Pinot Noir from Titus opens with a Devil’s food cake and black plum bouquet with hints of toasted pecan and flint. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, smooth, and savory. The flavor profile is a graphite influenced black cherry and mild tobacco blend with notes of black currant and Chinese five spice. We also detected hints of oak, dark chocolate, and black pepper. The finish is dry, and its flavors, acidity and medium tannins linger nicely. This Pinot benefits from some aeration. I would decant it in the near term before pairing it with teriyaki grilled steak tips. Enjoy - KWGTP
Winemaker Notes: The third release of our Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir is a graceful, lithe wine with a balanced fruit profile. Cherry cola, and dried strawberry notes meld into a bouquet with nutmeg, rose, and potpourri aroma. On the palate, the flavors are bright and fresh leading with pomegranate, dark cola, and a hint of juniper that round into a smooth tannin profile. The Goldridge soils in this vineyard contribute to the elegant and refined tannins, with minerality and on the finish. Enjoy now through 2030.
