Wine Advocate Review
Rated 92
The 2022 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch comes from more than 30-year-old vines at different Dutton Ranch vineyards, including Mill Station and Walker Hill. Barrel-fermented and matured for 10 months in 40% new French oak, it bursts from the glass with expressive scents of ripe apples, green papaya, jasmine and pie crust. The medium-bodied palate offers a seamless balance of creamy, mouth-coating flavors and bright, juicy acidity, and it has a long, gently flinty finish.

Wine Tasting Notes
The nose of the Dutton Ranch Chardonnay is particularly lively this vintage, with fresh lemon curd leading the aromas, accented by mango, green apple, and a pretty lily of the valley floral note. The mouth is beautifully balanced, with a key lime pie combination of zippiness and creaminess, rounded out with apple, pear, and apricot, making this a crowd-pleasing wine for chardonnay fans of all kinds, and may even convert nonchardonnay drinkers. Its brightness makes a great foil for richer dished like spaghetti carbonara, oysters Rockefeller, or sole meuniere.
