Description
Producer notes: "Dutton‐Goldfield Winery began in a vineyard in 1998, when longtime colleagues and friends Steve Dutton and Dan Goldfield recognized a shared vision between them—to craft wines that express the personalities of their vineyards, and which they’d enjoy drinking at their own dinner tables. Our mission is to produce world‐class wines that display the brightness of fruit, complexity, structure and balance that are reflective of our cool coastal home.
The 2020 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay wine reflects this extended ripening with the perfect balance of richness and freshness. You can smell both the creamy and crisp nature of the wine right away, as the nose leads with lemon blossom, pear, kiwi, and green apple, with an underlay of crème brûlée. The first sip shows its zesty nature on entry, with refreshing lemon/lime fruit surrounded by softer mango, lychee, and guava tropical notes. A little oyster shell minerality on the finish reminds you of the Sonoma Coast just to the west, and also of delicious shellfish pairings."
