Dunstan Wines 90+ Point Sonoma Coast Sampler // 4 Bottles
Product Description
Located in the southwestern hills of Sonoma Valley, the Durell Vineyard stretches across three separate and overlapping appellations: Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Valley and a small corner of Carneros. This unique area enjoys the best characteristics of each appellation—the cooling effect of San Pablo Bay to the South, the afternoon winds generated from the Pacific to the West, and the warmth of the Sonoma Valley to the North. The vineyard’s sloping hills, rocky clay loam soils and low-vigor vines help keep yields low—three tons per acre on average—while its clonal diversity ensures great complexity.
Today, there are over 20 top-tier wineries producing Durell Vineyard designate wines, but the 8.5 acre Ranch House Block is dedicated exclusively to Dunstan Wines, producing only a few hundred cases of premium Durell Vineyard wine each year.
The 2013 Dunstan Chardonnay, awarded 94 Points by The Prince of Pinot, boasts a moderately light golden-yellow color and is clear in the glass. Subtle but pleasing aromas of citrus blossom, apple, and blonde caramel create a sophisticated and polished wine with an exquisite marriage of vivid citrus, apple, and banana fruit flavors with oak accents, enlivened by crisp acidity.
The 2012 Dunstan Pinot Noir, winner of 93 Points from The Prince of Pinot, and 90 Points from the International Wine Report, shows off a medium reddish-purple color in the glass. The aromas emerge with swirling, revealing notes of dark red and black berries, earthy flora, and herbs including Italian sage and vanilla. The wine bursts with engaging strawberry flavor accented with a bit of cherry and seasoned with the slightest oak. Highly enjoyable, with modest tannins, balanced acidity, and a very charming burst of ripe strawberry and spice on the glorious finish.
