Product Notes

The Patz & Hall Dutton Ranch Russian River Valley Chardonnay exhibits an exquisite versatility and complexity. Harvested in the lush valley in Sonoma County, California, this wine's identity lies in its vibrant citrus, apple and tropical fruit flavours, delicately interweaved with notes of vanilla and honey. A prominent minerality accentuates the delicate balance of its components. The wine presents a rich, creamy texture followed by a finish that is refreshingly crisp and flinty. Its uncanny ability to age grants it an increasingly softer and richer character over time, offering a tantalizing promise of enhanced flavours with each sip.

Tasting Notes

Green apple and spicy pear aromas leap from the glass. Notes of Muscat and orange blossom waft around toasted hazelnut, clove, banana and fresh earth. Dense and mouth filling, the wine shows great acidic flow and a dynamic range of flavors. It’s complex without being heavy or tedious. Tangerine, dried apricot, chai tea and crème caramel dart and weave through the long finish.
