Dutton Goldfield, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Syrah 2013

Jan 10, 2016

By Rich Cook

Don’t let the name Cherry Ranch fool you — this wine is all about the blueberry and pepper.  It’s my kind of Syrah — nothing over ripe or sweet going on here.  Just bright blueberry and white pepper complemented by mild eucalyptus and bay leaf in a lively, food friendly glass of wine that is a perfect foil for game bird, or you might try it with some charred fish for a different twist.  More Syrah like this please!
