93pts Wine Advocate
The 2023 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch has bright aromas of poached pears, apricot, panna cotta, oystershell and well-integrated spice from its 17-month maturation in 29% new French oak. The full-bodied palate has a silky texture and pure, concentrated stone fruit flavors. It’s balanced by bright, refreshing acidity and has a long, elegant finish.
Winemaker Notes
The 2023 Dutton Ranch exemplifies the Russian River Valley’s potential for world-class Chardonnay. This vintage delivers particularly high intensity, floral aromatics of apricot, ginger snap, and sweet nectarine. The palate offers a hint of chalky minerality, pecan brittle, followed by a toasty top note enveloped in subtle oak spice. This ’23 Dutton is rich and full bodied yet finishes fresh and lively.
A perfect Chardonnay on its own, or one with the broad shoulders to pair with cream sauces, cheeses or spicy cuisine.
Blend: 100% Chardonnay
