Chappellet Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch Russian River California 2021

In 1967, legendary grower Warren Dutton planted his first vineyard, and helped to establish Russian River Valley as one of the world’s great appellations for Pinot Noir. Today, his sons, Steve and Joe, carry on Warren’s legacy and have established Dutton Ranch as one of the region’s preeminent vineyards. This wine is made using grapes from some of the most prized sections of Pinot Noir at Dutton Ranch. Nestled in the cool, foggy hills above the Russian River Valley, the result is a wine with remarkable depth and concentration.

Displaying the alluring essence of great Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, this wine is deliciously complex and expansive, with aromas of dark cherry, ripe plum, currant and black tea, as well as nuances of clove, cardamom and white pepper. On the palate, flavors of pomegranate, wood spice, roasted coffee and sandalwood are framed by supple tannin and a warm, silky texture that glides to a long, luxurious finish.
