Dutton-Goldfield 2010 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Dutton Ranch
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Dutton-Goldfield / Russian River Valley

A good, fairly complex California Chardonnay, marked by ripe, jammy orange, pear and apricot fruit flavors. Winemaker interventions also play roles, with the malolactic fermentation adding buttery notes and French oak contributing sweet caramel.
