Sharp-eyed Pinot Noir lovers will recognize Dutton Ranch as the vineyard made famous by Kistler, with both their Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of the same provenance. Dutton-Goldfield, the vineyard's owner, is in their own right a top-notch producer of great Pinot Noir from this Dutton Ranch, and their 2022 shows their mastery of this legendary site. It's flamboyant and opulent without being over the top, unbalanced or marred by residual sugar. What it is, quite honestly, is the paradigm of what we love in California Pinot Noir: expressive and sumptuous. Sustainable viticulture.
