October 7, 2016 - Ripe, extracted black cherry, fruit forward but not jammy. Bright, with a touch of alcohol peeking out of the balance. This would make an excellent Thanksgiving wine, if Pinot is your thing with turkey and cranberry sauce. At this price point I'd have wanted more expression of place, but this is a lovely wine nonetheless.
February 21, 2016 - Solid but not extraordinary pinot.
July 19, 2015 - No notes taken but a very well made wine. Would drink now
April 14, 2015 - Big jammy strawberry/raspberry nose. Soft supple body and finish. Extracted but not as ripe and heavy as the nose would suggest.
March 15, 2015 - Dark, pretty good balance and Pinot fruit, but ultimately too much sweetness for our taste.
February 17, 2015 - Last bottle. Still outstanding Pinot Noir, but a bit past prime, with fruit a touch faded since my last in 2014. Drink up, friends!
December 7, 2014 - Luscious Pinot Noir, with Dutton Ranch loveliness in every sip.
November 24, 2014 - Particularly good with veal and salmon piccata
September 25, 2014 - Blackberry, blueberry, gooseberry, and plummy yummy Russian River cassis fill this Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir to the rim -- and beyond. Fabulous, and still getting even better.
September 18, 2014 - PnP. Initial nose and taste was a bit tart... but it softened up nicely as is warmed within just 20-30 minutes. Well integrated, but muted red fruits. Limited acidity... so soft, not bright.... but very nice. Drinking well now... my last bottle, so won;t know how much longer this will hold up.
