2021 Pinot Noir
2021 Pinot Noir
Tasting Notes
The 2021 Pinot Noir has aromas of red cherry, cranberry, lovely oak spice, clove, and vanilla, with hints of briary raspberry. We find lovely baking spice and luscious cherry pie with cranberry highlights on the palate. Exhibiting nice concentration and structured richness, the Pinot has balanced acidity and moderate tannins to keep it classically structured. A welcome addition to your table now and will continue to improve with cellaring through 2027.Vineyard Notes
The Goff-Whitton is a Dutton Ranch property in the Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley that yields a wine with intense red fruit aromas. It is softer, with lovely suppleness, sweet fruit on the mid-palate, and red fruit flavors. The 2021 is the fifth vintage using the Dutton Ranch Goff-Whitton vineyard exclusively.Winemaker Notes
The single lot was fermented in an open top tank utilizing both punch downs and pump overs to optimize the level of extraction from the fruit. The wine went to barrel with some yeast lees that were stirred every 2 weeks for the first 6 months of aging to add body and complexity. The 2021 vintage was bottled unfiltered.| Download Wine Tasting Notes | |
