45 American Pinot Noirs We Love to Open on Special Occasions
2018 Dutton-Goldfield Van Der Kamp Vineyard Pinot Noir Sonoma Mountain
Dan Goldfield produces a fantastic range of Pinot Noirs each vintage, and considering them side by side is always a rewarding exercise. This 2018 single-vineyard offering showcases so much of what he does right year after year: It’s ripe and rich yet full of mouthwatering acidity—a vivid bottling that balances black plums, blackberries, and pomegranate seeds with cracked peppercorns and deeply steeped tea. The spice note sweeps back in on the long finish.
