In 1998, Pinots were produced from both the Dutton Ranch and Valhalla Vineyard sites. The 1998 Pinot Noir Dutton Ranch offers cherry, root beer, and smoky aromas, followed by a ripe, easy-going, soft, supple texture. It is on a fast evolutionary track, and is best drunk over the next 3-4 years, given its light ruby color and superficial charm and richness. Tel. (707) 963-8600; Fax (707) 963-7818
