This lively wine appears light gold, with pale green shading and brilliant clarity. The Nose is full of fresh peach and pear fruit with floral lime, light grass and pepper overtones, hints of green banana. The palate shows lemon lime grass, pear and white peach fruit, nice dynamic texture with rounded melon, stone fruit with integrated lemon/lime grass acidity, white pepper, light leafy bell pepper, lemon grass finish. Lovely length and texture on the palate. This bright and smooth Sauvignon Blanc will be great match with seafood preparations that include herbs, tomatoes or peppers as well as fresh fruit, goat cheese and a crunchy baguette.
We love cool-climate Syrahs and this 2016 is no exception. It beguiles, tempts, and delivers! Deep rich violet color with bight brilliant purple edges that is reminiscent of black berry juice. Aromas of ripe plum, black cherry, and a dusting of coco powder, clove and cinnamon with ethereal vanilla notes fill the nose. This is a fleshy, juicy and fruit forward wine. The aromas follow to the pallet with additions of black cherry, blueberry and white pepper. Lush black cherry and pepper persist in the long finish. This approachable wine is a hedonistic mouthful! Rich, velvety tannins make this is a full-bodied Syrah that can be enjoyed for the next 3-5 years, or it can be enjoyed now with a plate of barbequed ribs or smoked pork with all of the summer side dishes.
Multi-generations and a love of the land are at the center of everything we do at Dutton Estate. This vineyard designated Syrah is a perfect example. The vineyard was originally Tracy Dutton’s father’s property. It is now managed and farmed by Joe Dutton, his son-in-law. This wine is a brilliant dark red color with lavender edges that dance in the glass. The floral aromas are explosive! Rose petals seem to jump from the glass; along with raspberry, blueberry, black pepper and Allspice. There is a black pepper and mineral thread from start to finish. The Syrah is packed with bright jam notes of blackberry, raspberry and cherry. The rich flavors of berries and cola-fruit follow to the end. This is a big yet pretty Syrah with nicely integrated mixed American oak that provides a long, textured, pepper spiced finish.
Our dessert wine offers some of the hidden fruit flavors of Syrah that can only be extracted and intensified by allowing the grapes to hang longer on the vine. With the baking spices and raisined aromas filling the glass, sweet boysenberry and blackberry flavors fill your palate, leaving the guest thinking of Grandma's berry pie.
Now in cans! The cider we make from our orchards is a wonderful blend of Gravenstein and Golden Delicious apples, that will make our guests never look at a hard cider the same way ever again. Being barrel fermented and only taking on the natural sugars of the apples we use, this is a crisp and refreshing beverage that is perfect for a hot summer day, or a cold winter night by the fireplace.
