Sonoma-Loeb “Dutton Ranch” Pinot Noir 2021 – Sonoma Coast, California
Another beautifully crafted wine by Phillip Corallo-Titus, the visionary winemaker behind Sonoma-Loeb since 1990. This 100% Pinot Noir captures a style that leans toward Burgundian elegance, reminiscent of the Côte de Nuits, yet clearly rooted in Sonoma’s signature vibrancy.

The 2021 vintage shows remarkable depth and finesse, a masterclass in balance and subtle complexity.

On the nose and palate: Ripe cherry, raspberry, and red currant lead the way, followed by subtle spice notes of anise, clove, and baking spices. There’s a gentle warmth from toasty oak and a whisper of vanilla, which adds texture without overpowering the fruit.

As a mouthfeel overall; Silky, smooth, and well-integrated, with soft tannins and a polished structure. The wine offers elegance and restraint, letting the fruit and finesse shine without excess weight.

A thoughtful, layered Pinot Noir, proof that Sonoma can deliver grace, not just power. Definitely worth a spot at the table or in your cellar. 🍷✨ cheers!!

Incredible zinfandel—really threw me for a loop blind. Amarena cherry, kirsch and cola. Agree that it’s quite meaty for a zin. Scrumptious. — 7 months ago

Pale cram yellow color. Abundant legs. Mild pears on the nose. Crisp Apples and pears on the fore palate. Lovely acidity with a smooth, oak finish. Consistent throughout the bottle. (Complemented the fatty Risotto with chicken breast and white cheese sauce very nicely!) — 2 years ago

Pale lemon color with aromas of ripe fruits, citrus, vanilla and nutty scents. On the palate complex flavors of apple, peach, pineapple and lemon citrus, well balanced with acidity on a nice mouthfeel. Long finish ending with oak, vanilla, mineral and citrus notes, will continue to age. A beautiful Chardonnay. — 3 months ago
