Seasonal Harvest Enologist
Dutton-Goldfield Winery

When acclaimed winemaker Dan Goldfield and legacy farmer Steve Dutton inspired to partner and craft their best version of Russian River Valley Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, the result has been a 25+ year legacy of producing small quantity, exceptional wines from Dutton Ranch vineyards in Sonoma County with the balance, structure and complexity that have defined Dutton-Goldfield wines for decades. Additionally, Dutton-Goldfield offers custom crush services to a few select clients. This allows for greater exposure to varietals from around Sonoma County, and an opportunity to work with and be a part of a multitude of winemakers and styles.
