Dutton Estate Pinot Noir Karmen Isabella 2017

Kistler, Patz and Hall, Hartford Court and Chappellet are some of the big-time names that all source fruit from the famed Dutton family. As 6th generation wine and apple growers in the Russian River Valley, the Duttons are the real deal when it comes to Sonoma farming families. Their fruit is highly sought after and their own wines are sold primarily via mailing list and in top restaurants. 

While generally focused on site-specific vineyard bottlings for their own wines, the Karmen Isabella is sourced from 3 dry-farmed, sustainably grown sites in the Russian River Valley. The Green Valley Road Vineyard provides weight, color and richness. The Thomas Road Vineyard contributes bright cherry and spice, and the Manzana Vineyard provides earth and minerals. As we noted above, the wine is gorgeous right now -- tiers of cola, cherries, pomegranate, forest floor and sweet citrus fruits...long, savory and satisfying. UNREAL level of quality at our amazing price!
