The 2022 Dutton Ranch exemplifies the Russian River Valley’s potential to deliver blockbuster Chardonnay. The highly aromatic notes of citrus blossom, rose petal, nectarine, and honeysuckle wash over the senses. These aromas translate to the palate, where a dense texture intermingles with perfectly ripe golden apple. Opulence from top-quality French oak lends a crème brûlée aroma. All the while, a firm acid backbone cinches up the palate and lends focus. Being both generous in fruit and structured, this pairs with a wide variety of cuisine, from Asian to backyard BBQ.
Tropical aromas of ripe pineapple, guava, and lemon peel swirl from the glass on the nose of this native fermented Chardonnay. The palate layers on flavors of ripe apple, lemon verbena, apple blossom, and cinnamon, with bright acidity and rich structure.—T.R.C.
Here's What We Thought:
From the cool heart of the Russian River Valley, this Chardonnay is sunshine with structure. Ripe pear, grilled pineapple, and lemon curd glide into a light, creamy richness with a touch of toasted vanilla and warm spice. Bright coastal acidity keeps it fresh and lifted, finishing with a subtle saline snap that turns butter-poached lobster or crispy roast chicken into a full-on dinnertime feast. 🍷
