2022 Pinot Noir
90 Points
The big, expressive and lively nose of this wine gives a ton of juicy cherry, mushroom, orange peel and sage. Plenty of raspberry, barrel spice, caramel and cola arise on the powerful palate before a finish that lingers with some warmth. —T.R.C.
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.
