2017 Davis Bynum Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir
| Description: | Tasting Notes\r\nEarthy aromas of leather, strawberry and rhubarb lead to a medium body with notes of strawberry, juicy blue fruit and a hint of spice. The wine ends with a long finish of red fruit, lingering acidity and velvety tannins. Savor this inaugural wine with goat cheese crostini topped with wild mushrooms,\r\nrosemary crusted lamb shanks or your favorite sharp cheese.\r\nWINEMAKING\r\nThis is our inaugural vintage of Dutton Ranches Pinot Noir, which showcases the briary fruit tones and higher acidity from grapes grown in a cooler area of the Russian River Valley. The Dijon clones 667 and 115 dominate the fruit profile while the Pommard clone adds a silky texture to the mid-palette and finish. A dose of new French oak provides complexity and balance to the fruit and acidity of the grapes.\r\nAbout Davis Bynum Winery\r\nIn 1973, when Davis Bynum first released his small lot of single vineyard Pinot Noir from the famed Rochioli vineyard in Sonoma County\u2019s Russian River Valley, Pinot Noir was a relative stranger to the region, but the fickle grapes thrived in the unique terroir. The first to produce single vineyard Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, Davis Bynum was instrumental in bringing the prestige to Russian River Valley vineyards, still acclaimed as one of California\u2019s finest Chardonnay and Pinot Noir growing regions.\r\nSince 2007, the winery remains in the capable hands of proprietor Tom Klein who, along with winemaker Greg Morthole, honor the expertise and shared innovative winemaking spirit with founder, friend and mentor Davis Bynum. Humbled and proud to be carrying on the Davis Bynum legacy, Greg is committed to staying true to Bynum\u2019s philosophy. Through bold innovation in the vineyard and the cellar, his deft guidance keeps the winery moving forward, while never losing touch with the past. Today, more than forty years later, the heritage of Davis Bynum lives on through the hand-crafted creation of wines grown exclusively in Russian River Valley.\r\nDavis Bynum\u2019s sustainable vineyard practices are officially certified by the California Sustainable Winegrower\u2019s Alliance. The statewide certification board provides third-party verification of adherence to a process of continuous improvement in the implementation of sustainable winegrowing practices. We are committed to doing our part for our community today, and for generations to come. |
