About Dunstan Wines
Dunstan Wines is Steve Clifton's personal label — named for Saint Dunstan of Canterbury, the 10th-century English archbishop who was also one of the medieval period's most accomplished artisans: a goldsmith, blacksmith, bell-founder, and musician who combined spiritual authority with metalworking craft. Steve Clifton, who co-founded Brewer-Clifton, chose the patron saint of craftsmen for his personal post-Brewer-Clifton project.
The Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir and Chardonnay program sources from the appellation's most dramatically maritime vineyard sites — the same extreme coastal sources that informed Steve Clifton's work at Brewer-Clifton. The craftsman-saint naming carries the same precision aspiration: wine made with the medieval craftsman's total commitment to the work.
Wine Advocate has scored Dunstan's Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir at 92–95 points.
