Why Dutton Ranch Matters

Located in the heart of the Green Valley of Russian River Valley, Dutton Ranch is known for its coastal influence, fog-kissed mornings, and Goldridge soils—elements that make it ideal for growing world-class Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. These conditions shine through in every bottle of Dutton Ranch Chardonnay and Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir, consistently earning critical acclaim and loyalty from wine lovers.
