As for the 2013 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch, this leans more toward tropical fruits, such as pineapple and mango, with buttery brioche notes, a good, deep, rich full-bodied mouthfeel and one of the more exotic personalities in this portfolio. Drink over the next 4-6 years.
The 2013 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch is open, radiant and quite giving. Candied lemon, orange peel, spice, mint and floral notes meld together in a sensual, finely-knit Chardonnay long on depth and class. Deceptive in its first impression, the Dutton shows more structure and underlying salinity as it sits in the glass. Dutton was Kistler’s lowest yielding site in 2013. As a result, the wine is endowed with a real sense of textural richness.
The 2013 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch is all about texture and mid-palate pliancy. Apricot, orange peel, spices, mint and hazelnuts are some of the many aromas and flavors that blossom. Powerful and deeply expressive from the outset, the 2013 hits all the right notes. Knockout aromatics on the finish are incredibly inviting.
Informazioni sul produttore
Kistler’s Chardonnays are some of the world’s most sought-after. This cult Californian producer crafts small volumes of exceptional, rich and generous, yet mineral and precise wines. With almost the entire production sold directly to their mailing list, the wines are also incredibly hard to find.
