2019 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Walker Hill Vineyard Chardonnay
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, May 2022
“Waxy apple and lemon notes give this wine a slate-like texture and edge that evolves into a sleek accent of oyster shell. It builds to a balanced richness on the midpalate, showing lush notes of pear, pineapple and brioche. ”

Piper Sonoma Brut Reserve
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, March 2022
“This wine leads with 92% Chardonnay, the remainder Pinot Noir, made in small amounts with a reserve mentality. Oyster shell, green apple, white peach, tangerine and pear make for a sumptuously rich yet fresh and complex experience on the palate. Hazelnut provides a finishing touch of contrast. ”

2019 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Emerald Ridge Pinot Noir
Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, August 2022
“The 2019 Pinot Noir Emerald Ridge Vineyard is lifted with menthol, cherry lozenge, and cola spice. The palate is full with emerging tannins, cedar, dried cranberry, and warm woodsy spice. Allow another year in bottle and drink over the following 5-6 years.”

2019 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Walker Hill Vineyard Chardonnay
Jeb Dunnuck, August 2022
“The 2019 Chardonnay Walker Hill Vineyard was aged for 18 months in 50% new oak. It is fragrant of white flowers, lemon curd, and oak spice and is medium-bodied, with fresh acidity, notes of almond and citrus pith, and a chalky texture. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.”

2018 Animo Heritage Sauvignon Blanc
Lisa Perotti-Brown, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, November 2019
“The 2018 Animo Heritage Sauvignon Blanc gives up pronounced pink grapefruit, guava and passion fruit scents with touches of bouquet garni, lime blossoms and honeysuckle. Medium-bodied, the palate is refreshing and elegant, with impressive intensity and a mineral-sparked finish.”

2019 Dutton-Goldfield Dutton Ranch Emerald Ridge Pinot Noir
Virginie Boone, Wine Enthusiast, September 2022
“Structured in tight, youthful tannin, this wine opens in pretty aromas of rose petal and fresh citrus. Bright acidity rides beneath layers of pomegranate, strawberry and blueberry steeped in baking spice and forest tones, with a lingering note of integrated oak. ”

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.”
