Dutton-Goldfield Cherry Ridge Vineyard Syrah 2014 | Wine & Spirits 2017 Top 100

94WE | Dutton-Goldfield Cherry Ridge Vineyard Syrah 2014 originates from a site on the western edge of Green Valley.  First of all, this wine rocks in its light-bodied wrestling of white pepper and floral violet intrigue.  In addition, so inviting on the nose.  Finally, it opens slowly to unravel high-toned acidity and aspects of wild berry that are irresistible in their succulence and depth.

91W&S | Dutton-Goldfield Cherry Ridge Vineyard Syrah 2014 displays purple and luscious when first poured.  Plus a vanillin scent of oak, this shows its cooler aspects with air. While it comes from a south-facing site on the southwestern end of the Russian River Valley, just north of the Petaluma Gap.  Yet feels both sunny and breezy, a delicious floral tone lifting its plump fruit. As a result, it’s a spicy, satisfying Syrah for a pork chop.

Winery | Swirling the glass offers up dizzying aromas of freshly picked berries and mom’s delights roasting in the kitchen: blackberries, cherry pie, pepper, tobacco, and bacon. While the skillful addition of new wood is expressed in the subtle nuance of vanilla and smoke.  Plus, a velvety pillow greets the palate, followed by luscious blackberries, balanced acidity and sturdy yet refined tannins that linger alongside pleasing notes of berry and crispy bacon.

Indelibly a food wine, this Dutton-Goldfield Cherry Ridge Vineyard Syrah 2014 demands the attention of your hardiest recipes.
