Wine Reviews
and Press
In February, Wine
& Spirits rated the 2000
Galante Pinot Noir a 91,
calling it an "extreme pinot" with "bold tannins, and blue-purple
brightness".
…….
The April 2002 issue of Wine
& Spirits featured a story
on Chardonnay along California's North Coast, and included a big
picture and interview with none other than Dan Goldfield, resident
expert on the Russian River Valley climatic influences.
…….
Cool climate grapegrowing was the focus of the In
Vino Veritas (invinoveritas.com)
January story, with an extensive interview of Dan and wine notes.
Our 1999 Dutton Ranch
Chardonnay was described as "Gold,
bright, a little silver tinge. Smells creamy and spicy. Well water
aromas, tastes like caramel, almost sweet. Round, ripe tropical
flavors. Then the finishing balance of citrus and crisp acidity
is just perfect. Super value for around $6 a glass."
…….
TJ Foderaro's article "New Dutton label solves Russian River Valley
puzzle" in the May Star-Ledger
features Dan and Dutton Ranch
grapes. He says "Goldfield hits the mark with his initial releases.
The 2000 Dutton Ranch
Chardonnay is a model of balance
and elegance, designed to complement food rather than impress judges
in blind tastings." He also calls the 2000
Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir "excellent,
a medium-bodied red with a spicy bouquet."
…….
The May 15 San Jose Mercury
News article "Russian River
Valley still Pinot Noir Star" says the wines from Dutton-Goldfield
"show tremendous promise." Laurie Daniel notes the 1999
Dutton Ranch Pinot is "bright,
fresh raspberry with good depth and structure. Full-bodied and delicious."

assistance or anything else you need. You can reach her at 707.823.3887
