Dutton Ranch is rightly famous for Pinot Noir, and here’s another reason why. Cherry, strawberry, cedar, dusty minerality and talc aromas lead to a palate that has bracing acidity and moderate grip. In the mouth, it’s red fruit focused with light citric note on the finish that’s pleasantly mouthwatering and integrates the dust and cedar spice nicely. Very food friendly — you won’t go wrong with fowl!
