High Praise for Dutton-Goldfield Wines in Jeb Dunnuck’s Sonoma County Report

We’re thrilled to share that Dutton-Goldfield was recently featured in JebDunnuck.com’s comprehensive review of Sonoma County wines, authored by Audrey Frick. The report takes a deep dive into the 2023 and 2022 vintages, and we’re proud to see our wines recognized with excellent scores among an impressive lineup of producers across the region.

Vintage Insights: A Tale of Two Seasons

Audrey Frick’s report paints a vivid picture of the contrasting growing seasons that shaped these vintages. While 2022 challenged winemakers with drought and heat, 2023 brought an unusually late and cool harvest—a vintage that, according to Frick, offers “fantastic transparency of site” and “notable finesse and refreshment.”

Chardonnay took center stage in 2023, edging ahead of Pinot Noir due to its resilience and vibrancy. Sauvignon Blanc also stood out, producing “outstanding wines across the board.” With careful vineyard management playing a key role, the best examples from the vintage are poised to be truly memorable—and we’re proud that our efforts were recognized among them.
