mouth feel. The complex bouquet includes key lime, lemon peel, peaches and apricots. The crisp tartness complements the wine’s natural viscosity and creates balance and elegance. This wine is extremely versatile with food. It's textured and plush enough to compliment rich seafood like lobster, crab and scallops, but also has a crisp acidity and fruit flavors that can pair nicely with more diverse flavors like grilled pork tenderloin with a fresh apple reduction sauce.

The Dutton Ranch’s™ Widdoes vineyard is located between the towns of Graton and Occidental in the Russian River Valley appellation. The cool temperate growing conditions allow the grapes from this 18 year-old, vertical trained, dry farmed vineyard (meaning the vines see no water outside of rain) to ripen slowly and evenly. At this vineyard the Beringer clone Pinot Noir is planted which consistently produces a wine of finesse and balance.
The Widdoes Pinot Noir has a bright medium dark red color. Aromas of blueberries, raspberries, violets, forest floor, and the signature cherry cola lead you into the clean and crisp palate with a minerality that is layered by lavender and clove flavors.

Terry Bering is the cellarmaster for Rochioli Vineyards. When he isn't busting his hump helping out the Rochioli family produce fantastic wines, Terry works on his own Pinot Noir Project! Read More...
Terry makes flavorful, aromatic, and wonderfully nuanced wines that do justice to his Rochioli vineyard source.
In 2011 the crop yields were small, and the weather was cold. Many other producers produced the same yields and were greeted with diluted wines. But since Terry kept the yields small, those grape clusters were able to fully mature, and the resulting is a thing of beauty! The 2011 vintage has a PH of 3.55 (perfect). Full of dark fruit with a touch of cranberry on the finish, it is framed with a subtle tannin structure. All point to a wine that should age very well; only 300 cases were produced!

We’ve featured the Chasseur wines numerous times and for good reason! They’re balanced, flavorful, impressive wines that showcase the best of what Sonoma has to offer. Even Read More...
Robert Parker stated in a recent issue of The Wine Advocate: Chasseur is definitely a reference point for consumers looking for the highest quality Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs from northern California. These are all very impressive wines that merit serious attention. Moreover, their prices are reasonable for the quality level. This bottling is a blend of six different Pinot Noir clones from three different and distinct vineyards! Aged for 14 months in French oak, this is one of his best Russian River Pinot Noir bottlings to date.

The Chloe bottling comes entirely from the prestigious Ritchie Vineyard in the Russian River Valley. Yields are kept down to only 3 tons per acre to increase complexity in the wine. It was aged for 15 months in 50% new French oak barrels.
Brilliant pale yellow gold color, this is richly aromatic with nectarine, orange marmalade, mango, a subtle edge of fragrant lilies. Broad intense fruit richness, white peach, citrus oil, toasted nuts, almond paste, and brioche come forward on the palate. It has a real sense of thrusting power, but perfect balance between pulsating fruit, precise acidity, and a lemon zest finish.

2010 rivals 2008 as winemaker Andy Smith's favorite vintage in recent memory. Across the board, the wines are more lively and focused. This multi-vineyard blend displays a light green/yellow color, and shows a wonderful aromatic range of cantaloupe, grapefruit, green apple, and a hint of cut grass. Richer almond and oatmeal aromas build with air (a hint to decant), along with an intriguing fennel and spearmint edge. Bone dry tightly-coiled on the palate, white peach, crunchy apple, sweet lime, greet the tounge with a clean saline edge, yet the texture broadens as it opens in the glass. Taut acidity brings structure and length.

WINEMAKERS NOTE'S- "With its tiny crop and unusually cool summer, the 2011 vintage gave us an extraordinarily fresh and sleek Dutton Ranch Pinot. Though Read More...
the fundamental bright berry core and silky Green Valley tannins are always part and parcel of this wine, there is a particularly vivid aromatic freshness this year, which carries through in its bright acid and low alcohol in the mouth. Red berries combined with black cherry fruit in the nose is underlain with candied rhubarb and a hint of sandalwood and cinnamon. In the mouth, the cherry flavors are carried through on the wonderfully fine tannins--like warm cherry vanilla ice cream in a glass. The finish is exceptionally lengthy, and serves up the accompanying sweet berry cream pie. With our stellar salmon season this year, we like to use a bit in our marinade to make the pairing even more ideal. But don't limit yourself. A beauty of this wine is the boundless possibilities, from herb crusted poultry to grilled fish to slices of goat Gouda. Production: 2,486 cases."

of Cabernet producers dabbling in Pinot noir, one taste left us wanting seconds, thirds and fourths! Now that the 2011 has dropped, it is every bit as good as its predecessors. En Route owns two fantastic Pinot Noir properties: Graton Vineyard and the highly-esteemed Amber Ridge Vineyard! Both vineyards are planted to several different clones for added complexity and nuances.
The 2011 EnRoute Pinot Noir reveals beautiful aromatics of cherry, raspberry, and perfume with subtle floral and mineral notes, baking spices and toasted vanilla. On the palate, the wine enters with a juicy, red fruit presence and progresses into Pinot Noir’s hallmark silky, coating tannins. The finish is elegant and mouthwatering as the natural acidity leaves you refreshed and wanting more.

A light golden wheat color, this wine follows the lead of past Russian River Valley bottlings with aromas of poached pear, apple, tropical fruit and a spicy, floral accent. Read More...
The palate offers sweet apple, lime, mineral, plus a touch of yeast, subtle oak and a creamy, mouth-coating intensity. If you have enjoyed this wine in the past, you should be very pleased with this rendition indeed. That said, greater acidity and structure will offer a longer cellar life and invite a bit more patience before opening your first bottle.

Excellent acidity balances the richness and will support it throughout the meal and the coming years in your cellar.
