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.

The new release is here from outstanding winemaking team of Michel Rolland, Charles Thomas, Andy Erickson and David Jelenik. This one always represents one of the best quality-to-price ratios in all of Napa Cab and in the stellar 2021 vintage, this really stands out as one of the best the Valley has to offer. It’s a racy mix of Coombsville fruit from Atlas Peak that absolutely roars out of the bottle. Always one of Napa’s great bargains and a must have even as the price starts to sneak up here a little bit.
The 2021 Napa Valley East side Cuvee is an instant classic. From the first whiff to the moment it hits the lips, its clear that this is a fabulously concentrated, serious wine: black in color, and featuring aromas of cassis, cedar and chocolate-tinged purple fruit. The mouthfeel is plush and voluptuous with a firm, solid finish that speaks to its potential for considerable aging.

“The 2020 Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is truly sensational. It begins with striking aromas of fresh blackberries, blueberries and dark plums that are laced with fresh spring florals, mocha, sweet exotic spices, graphite and gravel nuances all taking shape. The palate is full-bodied and displays a remarkable combination of power and elegance throughout. This is beautifully structured and extremely expressive, as it possesses outstanding depth and concentration all they way through the long, finessed finish. Year after year, the Columbia Valley Cabernet is one of the most impressive wines, and there is no exception here, as it combines all the wonderful qualities of the 2020 vintage from Quilceda Creek into one expression. This is fantastic already and readers will be in for a real treat, as this simply marvelous wine will continue to deliver the goods for years to come.”
