Chappellet 2017 Grower Collection Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir ($45) Chappellet is certainly best known for it's Cabernet Sauvignons from its Pritchard Hill, Napa Valley estate, but the winery also has some interesting, high quality forays into single vineyard Pinot Noirs. like this Dutton Ranch Pinot Noir from Sonoma County. Steve and Joe Dutton run one of Sonoma's steadiest sources of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and Chappellet has done them well with this terrific release showing beautifully balanced, focused, and juicy blackberry, raspberry, red currant, orange zest and fennel notes. (95 Points)
