About Dunstan Wines
Dunstan Wines makes, in its own words, two wines from one place: Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown exclusively on the 8.5-acre Ranch House Block of the celebrated Durell Vineyard in the southwestern hills of Sonoma Valley. Owner Ellie Phipps Price bought Durell in 1998 and replanted this block, which surrounds her home, in 2005; the inaugural Dunstan vintage followed in 2008. The name and its horseshoe logo come from a large old horseshoe unearthed during planting, taken as an omen of good luck and tied to the legend of Saint Dunstan the blacksmith.
Durell is one of Sonoma's most coveted sites, more than twenty top wineries, from Kistler to Auteur, buy its fruit, and it straddles the Sonoma Coast, Sonoma Valley and Carneros, lending the wines both power and cool-climate finesse. Production is small, only a few hundred cases, now made by winemaker Kenneth Juhasz, and a Willamette Valley Pinot has recently joined the range.
Visits are by appointment only and genuinely intimate, held in a restored early-1900s ranch house surrounded by the vineyard. Beyond a seated tasting with food pairings, guests can take an ATV tour up the hill for sweeping estate views.
