Ruby with an orange cast. Nose of cherry cola, mushrooms. Sweet black cherry on the palate, followed by light acidity. This won't get any better, but very enjoyable now. This is my last bottle, so that works out well.

(Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch Freestone Hill Vineyard) Medium strawberry red color with pale meniscus; big spicy cherry, sandalwood nose; tart spicy cherry palate; medium finish
(Dutton-Goldfield Pinot Noir Freestone Hill Vineyard, Russian River Valley) Warren Dutton stirred up controversy in 1997 when he planted Pinot Noir in a cool, foggy vineyard on the coastal side of the Petaluma Gap, but it is now recognized as an outstanding site. Intensely fruity with cherry, strawberry, and raspberry notes, this Pinot has moderate alcohol (13.8%) and beautifully integrated oak tannins. Hot Picks

Better after about 2 hours in the decanter. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Very good as before, showing its age.

Waited too long. Turning to brown in color; no real distinguishment of nose or fruit. No vibrancy - long in the tooth!
