January 6, 2010 - This had a wonderful richness that has developed since the last time having this wine. The strong core of minerality and acidity is still there and help make this wine stand up throughout a bombardment of syrah at the tasting this was enjoyed at.

October 26, 2009 - opened this up and let it breathe for about 30 minutes before serving it with dinner. Had it with roasted halibut over a white bean, tomato broth with rosemary. The wine complimented it wonderfully with a nice minerality and a long smooth finish. Wish I had more of this vintage!

By Randy Caparoso
November 2009 (link)(Dutton-Goldfield Chardonnay Rued Vineyard, Russian River Valley) When is the last time you’ve been moved by a California Chardonnay? The Rued ranch, originally planted on a cooler-climate site by Warren Dutton in 1969, is the major source of the denser-skinned, smaller-cluster-and-berry clonal mix known as Old Wente (yielding Chardonnay Musqué, now called the Rued clone). The combination of a long, cool vintage and impeccable lineage has resulted in a wine of mountainous proportions, with an opulent viscosity charged by electric acidity and a slightly tannic grip (from high skin-to-juice ratios) that does indeed recall classic Burgundian crus in density and promise (the ’01 Rued, for example, is only now coming into its own). In relative youth, however, the nose is all-American: huge, pungent peach mixed with orange blossom and undertones of licorice, lilac, and vanilla. Hot Picks
