I recommend making it your house white for summer and fall sipping. 2016 Dutton Goldfield ‘McDougall Vineyard’ Pinot Noir, Fort Ross-Seaview, California $68 Being a Pinot Noir lover, I’m partial to the wines from not only this producer, but also the vineyard. Dutton Goldfield is a partnership between fifth-generation Sonoma grower, Steve Dutton, and noted winemaker, Dan Goldfield. Their wines are always stellar–thoughtful, authentic, and restrained. This particular bottling comes from a rugged coastal area along Sonoma County’s northern reaches from the famed McDougall Vineyard. The wine is intense and spicy with saturated red...
