Vinography Highlights Deviate and Emerald Ridge Pinot Noir
I’m reviewing two wines from Dutton Goldfield this week, their Deviate Pinot Noir, which is made in a richer style with deliberate oak treatment to accentuate spice and flavor, and their more traditionally restrained Emerald Ridge Vineyard Pinot Noir from the Dutton Ranch. I prefer the latter wine, but those who enjoy more robust Pinots may like the Deviate, which is named not so much for its flavor profile as much as the fact that it breaks from the brand’s tradition of single-vineyard bottlings. - Vinography
