From multiple certified-sustainable sites, including Campbell, Morelli Lane and Hallberg, this well-made wine is solid in crisp red-currant fruit and a dusting of dried herb. Rounded and balanced in richness, it offers a persistence of freshness and earthiness that compel.

Fine-edged, with hints of tangerine to the cherry tart and plum paste flavors that are juicy and supported by rich acidity. The lively finish offers notes of cedar and spice, with hints of coffeeberry. Drink now through 2026. 2,965 cases made.

Moving to the 2019 Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch, which comes from the same vineyard, this is another solid, well-made wine. Revealing a semi-opaque ruby color as well as a great nose of spiced red and black berry fruits, iron, leafy herbs, and baking spices, this beauty hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a forward, sumptuous, expansive texture, and outstanding length on the finish. I don’t think it’s going to be the longest-lived Pinot out there, but it has loads of character and is already a joy to drink. Enjoy bottles over the coming 4-5 years.
