Chardonnay Dutton Ranch 2017, Patz & Hall

The Dutton Ranch Chardonnay is a very appealing wine: juicy with tangerine, fragrant with spiced pear and clove, and given substance by a combination of green apple and dried apricot. The Dutton family is one of the oldest and most important grape-growing families in Sonoma, which owns some of the finest sites. The Duttons are Chardonnay specialists, who have helped to elevate the reputation of Russian River Valley into an internationally recognised region, synonymous with top-notch quality.
