Release December 15, 2017. A 14-acre vineyard planted in the mid 1990s. Pommard 4 clone. · Moderately light garnet color in the glass. Seductive aromas of fresh cold berries, spice and turned earth. A mouthful of Pinot goodness in a mid weight plus style featuring an impressive expression of black cherry fruit underlain with notes of warm spices and tobacco. Easy to like now, with micro grain tannins, supportive acidity, and a flattering finish. As I have said many times, Pommard is my paramour. Score: 92. Reviewed November 12, 2017 WINERY » ARTICLE »
2014 Wonderment Dutton-Campbell Vineyard Green Valley of Russian River Valley Pinot Noir 14.1% alc., 264 cases, $40. · Light cherry color in the glass. This wine is currently sporting some oak swagger which should integrate further with time in bottle. Aromas of cherry, cranberry, cola and baking spices are heady. Elegantly composed and easy to like with mid weight flavors of cherry, raspberry, and oak spice. The tannins are buried, the spry acidity invigorates the wine and the raspberry coulis finish satisfies. Score: 91. Reviewed October 30, 2016 WINERY » ARTICLE »

Available on the wine list at Charlie Palmer’s restaurants. · A riper styled Pinot Noir which approaches but never reaches overripeness. Aromas of macerated strawberries, sandalwood and sweet oak. Juicy essence of berry compote trending to the red and blue berry spectrum with substantial oak in the background. A well-crafted wine that aims to please with vigorous fruit, soft tannins, bright acidity and some persistence on the finish. Good. Reviewed March 11, 2010 WINERY » ARTICLE »
