2022 Russian River Valley Dutton-Perry Ranch Pinot Noir
2022 Pinot Noir
92 Points
"The 2022 Pinot Noir Dutton-Perry Ranch is a medium ruby red color and has an expressive and floral perfume of candied roses, ripe strawberries, herbes de Provence, and pomegranate. Medium-bodied and elegant all the way through, its pretty, juicy perfume lasts throughout, and it has fine tannins and a weightless feel. Drink over the next 6-7 years."
About This Wine
Rich, layered, and vibrant, the 2022 Dutton-Perry Ranch showcases the cool, bucolic hills of Green Valley of Russian River Valley in delicious fashion. The final blend consists of equal parts Dijon 114, 777, and Mt. Eden clones. Clone 777 shows soaring red fruits and floral notes, while clone 114 — which I think is the star of the vineyard — explodes with black cherry and the signature cola notes of Green Valley. Clone 37, which is a new addition for us in the vineyard, provides black raspberry and ample richness — laying the foundation for the finish that glides along effortlessly. Formerly known as Keefer, and still Siduri’s longest-tenured Russian River Valley Pinot Noir, the Dutton family — which is now six generations deep in Green Valley farming — coaxes the most of this beautiful site.
