Chardonnay "Dutton Ranch", Kistler, Russian River Valley, CA, 2023

James Suckling - 97 Points

A brilliant, balanced and terrifically fresh white that's alive with tangy apricots and ripe peaches on a full body. Accents of toast, minerals, flint and almonds. Elegant, energized, appetizing and deep. Quite long and delicious in the finish. Drink now or hold.

The 2023 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch opens to savory beeswax and honeycomb, preserved green apple, white peach, and tarragon. The palate is pretty and well-defined, with clarity, focus, and a silky, clean texture, followed by a long-lasting finish with great mouthwatering freshness. A personal favorite in the range, drink it over the next 10-12 years. Drink 2025-2037.
