A rich and lemony wine with aromas and flavors of lemon curd, vanilla bean and delicate sweet spices. Full-bodied and luscious, but with refreshing acidity and a long, flavorful finish of baked apples and fall spices. Drink or hold.

The 2023 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch has bright aromas of poached pears, apricot, panna cotta, oystershell and well-integrated spice from its 17-month maturation in 29% new French oak. The full-bodied palate has a silky texture and pure, concentrated stone fruit flavors. It’s balanced by bright, refreshing acidity and has a long, elegant finish.

Opens with a floral thread of honeysuckle and orange blossoms, plus a touch of wildflower honey. The flavors are big, generous and bold, including apple pastry, fresh nectarine and ripe, salted melon. Fresh acidity keeps the flavors lively and in focus. Drink now through 2030. 2,525 cases made.
