Wow! I enjoyed and learned so much from @dangoldfield, the winemaker and partner of @duttongoldfieldwinery today on @sommation_live Ep132. ​ ​ ​ Dan talked about how Dutton-Goldfield Winery started with a handshake in 1998 that Steve Dutton and him share the same vision: producing wines express the quintessence of Russian River Valley. ​ ​ As Steve, a 5 generations grower, is in charge of the grape growing, managing the vineyard sites and Dan, with 34 years’ experience in winemaking, takes care of the cellar work, Dutton-Goldfield’s goal is to make wine that express the terroir of their cool-climate vineyards, and which they’d enjoy at their own dinner tables. ​ ​ What I have in my glass is Dutton Ranch Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017 from Green Valley of Russian River Valley. The grapes come from an east-facing knoll in the middle of the Green Valley with 4 different Pinot Noir clones planted. ​ ​ The wine displays seductive aromas of violet, bay leaf, green fig, wild strawberry, blackberry, black plum, with integrated clove, mace, and tobacco notes on the nose. With its high concentration, great intensity, and uplifting acidity, the wine is made to be aged. For immediate enjoyment, decanting is highly recommended. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ *Special thanks to @foliofinewine, @duttongoldfieldwinery, @dangoldfield, and @ordinairepierre​ *All wine can be purchased directly through @duttongoldfieldwinery ​ *Treat yourself a proper glassware @gabriel_glasinternational and save some wine for later enjoyment @coravin ​ *Don’t miss 15 % discount on @gabriel_glas.
