2013 Dutton Goldfield Dutton Ranch-Walker Hill Vineyard Green Valley of Russian River Valley Chardonnay

13.9% alc., pH 3.34, TA 0.70, 311 cases, $50. The Old Wente vines at this vineyard have been used since 2006 for the Dutton Ranch Chardonnay, but a designated bottling had to be done in this vintage. Primarily indigenous fermented barrels, extended malolactic fermentation, and aged 16 months in French oak barrels, 50% new. · Moderately light golden yellow color and clear in the glass. A bright, crisp and suave wine that offers aromas of lemon water, apple, oregano and toast, and flavors of citrus, apple butter, baking spices and cashew butter. A subtle hint of oak chimes in. Smooth in the mouth with bright lemon-lime acidity in the background. Score: 92. Reviewed November 22, 2015 WINERY » ARTICLE »
