2019 Dutton-Goldfield Rued Vineyard Chardonnay
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, August 2022
“The 2019 Chardonnay Rued Vineyard was also aged for 18 months in 50% new French oak. Light smoky notes lift from the glass, with floral tones and vanilla. It displays a little more body within its medium build, with yellow apple and bitter almond on the finish. Drink over the next few years.”

Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, September 2022

2019 Dutton-Goldfield Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir
Joshua Greene, Wine & Spirits, April 2022
“Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield planted this 8-acre vineyard for Ed and Sue Smith in 2002, at their home on a ridge near Occidental, in the western corner of the Green Valley. The sandy Goldridge soils, remnants of an ancient seabed, reduce vigor in the vines, which, in turn, produce the kind of fruit that speaks of the grandeur of the Pacific in the wine’s velvet waves of flavor. It captures the shifting fog in its freshness, the sun in the warm tones of earth. Bright floral scents and dark green plum play in and out of the oak (55 percent of the wine aged in new barrels). This is pretty righteous wine from the coast.”

Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, March 2020
“Sourced from a vineyard site surrounded by redwood trees and cool, coastal air, this wine opens in a beautiful invitation of stone, nutmeg and white flowers. A sea spray note hits the palate as pear, lemon and lime flavors take hold and develop a surprising creaminess on the long finish.”
