2007 Chasseur Sylvia’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.7% alc., 100 cases, $60. From a tiny .9-acre
vineyard owned and farmed by the Dutton family. Planted in 1994 on a ridge above the town of Graton in
Goldridge soils. Clone 115.
·
A ripe style with flavors of ripe plums and berries, raisin, root beer and port. Wellcrafted,
easy to drink, but stewed fruit, even when slight as in this wine, is not my thing. Decent.

2005 Chasseur Sylvia’s Russian River Valley Pinot Noir
14.1% alc., 100 cases, $60 (sold out). A
collaboration between Bill Hunter and the Dutton Family.
·
Very appealing wild berry, chocolate, and
char scents leading to a full array of red fruits and attention grabbing baking spice. An elegant wine that
is only marred by a hint of green tomato and stem which tends to dissipate with time in the glass.
