Dutton Goldfield’s Fox Den Vineyard Pinot from this vintage is a monumental wine among monumental wines. Just one of Dutton Goldfield’s many vineyard-designate Pinot Noirs, the Fox Den stands out for its purity of flavor and rich entry on the palate. This one’s pure blueberry with a touch of wood spice and supple, rounded tannins that make for easy drinking now, although it would be prudent to allow this beauty to rest for a few years in the cellar as it gradually works its way to peak maturity.
