One of the very best American wine partnerships is one that has been in place since the 1990s. I’m talking Dan Goldfield and Steve Dutton. Together, Dutton Goldfield has made Sonoma Coast and Russian River bottlings that absolutely rival the very best: Kistler, Hirsch and Ramey, but they do so for about half the price.
Steve farms over eighty(!) unique vineyard sites across the Russian River Valley, primarily in the Green Valley appellation at Dutton Ranch, the home vineyard. Dan Goldfield is the small-production Pinot Noir obsessed winemaker who cut his teeth at Mondavi and Schramsberg before starting this partnership.
For the last 25+ years, their calling card wines have been the estate bottlings from Dutton Ranch. People go nuts for these wines – most of the bottles never make it out of the winery as evident by the fact that I’ve never been able to offer this Pinot up and only once or twice got the Chard. Both the wines are perennial powerhouses with big scores attached, and in the fantastic and cool 2019 vintage, that excellence was on full display.

Fine-edged, with hints of tangerine to the cherry tart and plum paste flavors that are juicy and supported by rich acidity. The lively finish offers notes of cedar and spice, with hints of coffeeberry.

This is a really exciting new release in the collection of single-vineyards from the Wagner Family, and arguably the most interesting one of the bunch. This is the only Pinot Noir in the Caymus collection that has the advantage of being from a natural Pinot Noir haven in the Russian River Valley. Dairyman Vineyard’s proximity to the pacific ocean, with its morning fog and afternoon coastal breezes allows for an even and elongated growing season, with super concentrated and expressive grape clusters that help make this Dijon clone Pinot Noir one that you need.
#3 Wine Spectator Top 100 Wines of 2021
96 Points, Parker’s Wine Advocate – 95 Points, Wine Spectator
We are one of the very few folks who have Wine Spectator’s #3 Wine of the Year. This is definitely not one to miss. The 2016 vintage showcases this prized vineyard in all its glory; notes of wild black fruit, thyme, mint, eucalyptus, and bay are lifted and enjoyed with the polished tannin and mouthwatering freshness of this wine. Regarded as one of the best vintages in the last few decades, the 2016 Martha’s Vineyard has been aged to perfection for immediate enjoyment at release and will continue to reward for the next 20+ years.
#24 Wine of the Year (2022), Wine Spectator
92 Points, Wine Spectator – 91 Points, James Suckling
“This supple red shows a core of cherry and plum fruit allied to olive, juniper and tobacco notes. Delivers well-integrated tannins and acidic structure, lingering nicely on the finish.”
In the 2020 vintage in Gevrey-Chambertin, yields were super low and temperatures were hotter than most Burgundian winemakers are accustomed. Many picked too late when the sugars were high and the fruit really ripe, but that was not the play. Still, Ann remained as cool in those hot temps as she did so many years ago in Napa, concentrating more on acid levels than sugars and picking at just the right time. This wine is absolutely singing – it’s an age-worthy beauty that should be even better in 4-7 years.
