A blend of five of our favorite vineyards in the coolest part of Russian River Valley. The dry early spring and long, cool fall meant an extremely long growing season in 2007. Such a year give an extra level of richness to the Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. In addition to the usual core of lime and tangerine fruit that the old vines always offer, rich pear and ripe apple come more to the fore. Aromas of pear, citrus and butterscotch promise the richness of this wine, and the overtones of gardenia and sandalwood foretell its complexity. In the mouth, the typical solid structure of Dutton Ranch Chardonnay carries the unctuous citrus and candied pear fruit. It is this balance of bright acidity, fresh fruit, and lushness that make Chardonnay from Dutton Ranch so special. Great as an aperitif, try it also with your favorite fowl dishes, or any grilled fish. 3,981 cases produced. 91 points, Wine Spectator.
