Wine Notes
The 2017 growing season began with a good deal of precipitation, but after a mild spring, temperatures increased and remained warm throughout summer and fall. The vintage delivered smaller than average clusters, leading to excellent concentration and high quality fruit. Our Chardonnay was ready for harvest a few weeks ahead of schedule.
Located in the Russian River Valley less than ten miles from the Pacific Ocean, Dutton Ranch is comprised of more than 75 separate vineyards planted in the coolest areas of the region. This year’s Chardonnay is a single vineyard bottling from Gail Ann’s Vineyard, a parcel of Dutton Ranch that resides in the warmest part of the appellation, an area known for producing Chardonnay with expressive tropical tones.
