Steve Dutton farms over eighty unique, separate vineyards located in the coolest areas of
the Russian River Valley, primarily in the Green Valley appellation at Dutton Ranch. Together with winemaker Dan Goldfield, the two have been an unrivaled force in Sonoma’s Russian River Valley, creating a reputation of the region’s best known winery along with the sparkling house, Iron Horse. Five of Dutton Ranch’s eighty vineyards each year are used to make the duo’s Russian River Valley Chardonnay– a wine that has helped propel them to great heights over the years.
Dutton-Goldfield’s Dutton Ranch Chardonnay emphasizes the bright crystalline
citrus flavors and tropical overtones that reflect the pair’s vision of classic Russian River Valley Chardonnay. Most vineyards are below the fog line and the average vine age is 35 years. That helps make rich, deep and complex Chardonnays in the cool climate style.
The 2016 Dutton Ranch is a winner. A lively, energetic old-world style Chardonnay with fresh citrus and stone fruits, a touch of salinity and piercing minerality. Flavors of green apple, mango, apricot and lemon are accented by toasted hazelnuts and toffee. This one is a perfect compliment to most dishes or served chilled in a glass by the pool!

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.
Their newly released Chablis AC 2022 soars from the glass, redolent of green apple and citrus cream. The fruit is generous, and expansive on the palate with layer upon layer that just gets better with air. The finish is a mile long, with just great tension, speaking to Fèvre family’s old vine holdings in the chalky limestone of Fontenay-Près-Chablis.
Our all-time favorite Chardonnay is back just as the summer heat wave is starting to wind down! The Wagner Family’s Santa Lucia Highlands slam dunk. This is one that Nicholas Wines readers can’t get enough of – it always delivers. It leads with an inviting nose with fresh citrus and lemon notes. It’s always juicy, bright and well-balanced – it’s classic Caymus, rich and hedonistic with a wonderful creaminess. This is quintessential California Chardonnay.
Of the 9ha owned by Gerard Boulay, 8 of the hectares are on the slopes of Chavignol on Kimmeridgian or “terre blanche” soils (similar to the soils in Chablis), which he works manually and has farmed organically since 1990. The youngest vines at the domaine were planted by Mr. Boulay in 1972 and the average vine age is approximately 45 years old.
I understand how daunting it can be each year to get Leflaive into your collection. But, with two great vintages back to back in a six-pack, I’m making it easier than ever. The Mâcon-Verzé is a stunner and an incredible value. Drawn from nine special plots, and utilizing a combination of steel, cement and oak fermentation that leads to a wide array of flavor profiles. Fresh Granny Smith Apple set against a persistent minerality, refreshing with hints of Meyer Lemon. These are so stinkin’ good!
