Hallberg Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2019

Pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish rim.

Fruity nose of red and blue fruits with light wood, herbs, light vegetables, spices and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, blueberries, plums, cherries, earth, peppercorn, dark chocolates, herbs and light vegetables.

This 6 year old Single Vineyard Pinot Noir from Russian River Valley is drinking very nicely now. Fruit forward, rich and nicely balanced. Complex and entertaining. Elegant and tangy.

Good right out of the bottle, and gets earthier as it opens up.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

I had this vintage 3 years ago, and decided to let it age a bit longer, and it is drinking so much better now.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

100% Pinot Noir grapes were aged for 10 months in (35% new) French Oak barrels. Unfiltered and unfined.

13.7% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$50.

Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 2021

Dark ruby. Abundant nose of black cherry and medium black tea in a wooden bowl. Echoed on the silky smooth, medium full palate which adds medium acidity and a hint of black pepper. "Barely there" medium minus tannins round it all out making a classic premium California PN with just enough "stuff" for New World fare (like some weird salmon in cream sauce dish). Drink now. — 3 years ago

I think it because more balanced over time, so I'd recommend holding or decanting if drinking in the next year. — 5 years ago

Keefer Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2011

Drink ‘em if you got ‘me. After an hour, this one’s not yet flirting with the edge. The nose is sniffable without needing a sip. Fun, indeed to see these can go baby go. Mostly because when a bottle of Chardonnay is purchased in the US, 98% of those buyers think it needs to be consumed before the sun goes down. — 7 years ago

Opened up a little funny with some top of bottle sediment, but with air got a lot better. A pretty rich almost funky pinot — 6 years ago

Dutton Ranch Chardonnay 2020

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — a year ago

Perhaps too young at 9? Cranberry almost orange creamsicle like nose with thicker jammy body notes of licorice all throughout and a sharp finish — 2 years ago

Very aromatic on the nose. Intense tropical fruit flavours. The slightly off dry taste means that it needs to be matched with the right food. — 6 years ago

Sweet dark cherries on a smooth medium body wine. Perhaps it should have been drunk before because this one feels monolithic and simple even though it is pleasant — 7 years ago
