Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir 2016 Review
This is a great wine for a focused wine night. It’s focused on the lean side of chewy, with prominent aromas of cinnamon and cherry cola along with a hint of vanilla. The savory side is on the palate, with subtle black olive tones and seasoned meat with a touch of mint. It will coat your palate with a broad depth that ebbs a bit as the acidity comes in to clean up for the next sip.
