Dutton-Goldfield Chardonnay Dutton Ranch 2016 Bottle:12 This is a difficult wineWine Enthusiast 94 Points From a deft practitioner of the variety, this delivers bold balanced flavors of Meyer lemon, apricot and pear but remains most memorable for its salty gritty undertone of texture and minerality. Bright and supple, it's a delicious wine. Wine Spectator 90 points Tilts toward the tart side, with a potent lemon citrus character amid green apple and green pear flavors. Mouthwatering throughout.
