Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2002

The 35 year old vines from Searby Vineyard once again provided the fruit for our second Dutton Ranch Chardonnay. Wells utilized 50% new French Oak and it was in barrel for 14 months. The aromas of baked apple, roasted hazelnuts, and candied lemon lead seamlessly to the creamy mouth feel. Crisp apple, pineapple, and other tropical fruit flavors carry through to the finish, which boasts a wonderful Meyer Lemon and toast component.
