| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 92 pts. in 16 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Racer117 on 3/31/2024 & rated 94 points: Top notch. I have the fortune of having Peter Michaels and/or Aubert Chardonnay most Friday nights (thanks J&S!) and this is right up there with them. A bit fuller than a previous bottle. Tropical fruit, caramel (after warming up), good acidity. (88 views) | | | Tasted by Racer117 on 11/26/2023 & rated 93 points: Always an elegant pour. I've had quite a few vintages of this and it is always excellent. Mid weight Chardonnay with pear, candied lemon, some citrus zest. (284 views) | | | Tasted by KimandScott on 10/3/2023 & rated 93 points: Really drinking well -- my wife is more of a California Chard fan than I am, but the oak and butter notes are just right in this well-structured wine with lots of lemon up front as well. (186 views) | | | Tasted by Terramare on 7/16/2022 & rated 92 points: Dutton-Goldfield's Rued Chards are always great. Don't chill them too heavily, better when they warm up a bit in the glass. A little bit of light tannin, still young today. (549 views) | | | Tasted by Alexander Smith on 10/31/2020 & rated 92 points: Certainly more rich and layered than the Dutton and really showcases how Russian River Chardonnay is textured. More quince and tropical fruit notes along with vanilla tart and creme Brule filled the palate with sweet spices and a round finish. (1363 views) | | | Tasted by WineCPA on 5/28/2020 & rated 95 points: Outstanding Chardonnay. Round and buttery. Lots of creme brulee. (1071 views) |

| Dutton-Goldfield Producer websiteChardonnay The Chardonnay GrapeUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino County |
