This is among the least expensive of the Dutton-Goldfield pinots, so making it a steal in context. Fresh and floral on the palate, this vintage of Dutton Ranch offers juicy red fruits, hints of spice and exquisite balance in a somewhat delicate package. The finish shows a bit of grip that will smooth out as the wine ages another year or so.
