Dutton Goldfield is in Sebastopol, California. It was founded in 1998 when Steve Dutton, a fifth-generation California farmer, and Dan Goldfield, a research chemist who later earned an enology degree at U.C. Davis, decided to make Pinot Noir. Today the estate includes some 80 separate vineyards in the western Russian River Valley. The estate specializes in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though it also makes small amounts of Syrah and Zinfandel.
