2006 Russian River Valley Zinfandel
Russian River Valley

The long, cool 2005 harvest season produced zinfandel fruit that wonderfully suited our style at Dutton-Goldfield: fruit with great physiological ripeness at moderate sugar, and ba ...morelanced acidity. The resulting wine shows the tremendous lushness and vibrancy for which zin is so prized, while maintaining an elegant balance not often seen in the varietal. This is a wine that is consistent from first sniff to the long, deep cherry finish. Throughout, it shows depth, dark enticing fruit, and soft candied overtones. In the nose, the black cherry, toffee and floral notes draw you in. In the mouth, its cherry and boysenberry fruit give a real perception of sweetness, enhanced by soft tannins and spicy wood notes. Its moderate alcohol allows the freshness and complexity of this wine to shine through, as well as helping it to be excellent for pairing with anything from pasta dishes and roasted meats to Parmesan and Manchego cheese and dark chocolate brownies.

2006 Morelli Lane Vineyard Zinfandel
Russian River Valley

The Morelli Lane Vineyard is archetypal for all we love about our part of the world: scenic, alive with history, and delicious. This 19th century planting is located at the top of ...moreStoetz Ridge, just north of the town of Occidental on the far western edge of the Russian River Valley appellation. Its dry-farmed, head-trained 1.8-acre block is all thatâ€™s left of a vineyard planted by the areaâ€™s early Italian settlers over 100 years ago. Left unfarmed for years, the Duttons (with prodding from Dan) revived the vineyard in 1995 and its fruit now enables us to provide this special limited bottling of old vine Zinfandel. Its cool proximity to the coast gives us a Zin of exceptional brightness and moderate alcohol; its hilltop perch facilitates the ripeness for wonderful fruit density and lush tannins; and its age gives us the personality that makes the wine truly special.
