2019 Dutton-Goldfield Fox Den Vineyard Pinot Noir

Audrey Frick, Jeb Dunnuck, August 2022

“Leading with notes of sweet kirsch and forest herbs, the 2019 Pinot Noir Fox Den Vineyard is another full-bodied wine from the estate, offering notes of fleshy black cherry, blackberry, and freshly turned soil. These are wines that can hold up to grilled meats and richer fare at the table. Drink over the next 3-5 years.”

James Suckling, James Suckling, May 2019

“Full and rather silky, in spite of the generous tannins, this is a serious Russian River Valley pinot noir with ripe sour cherries and delicate spice. Long, fresh and minerally finish that suggests this has a good future. Drink or hold.”
