Chardonnay Dutton Ranch 2020 Kistler

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (96)

The 2020 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch is a powerhouse! Gregarious baked apples, apricot and tangerine peel are accented with touches of dried herbs and flint on the nose, and the full-bodied palate stuns with its ultra-concentrated fruit. It offers an expansive, satiny texture, youthful touches of spring butter, oak spice and refreshing, tangy acidity that balances the very long, flavorful finish. It's a near-foil to its shimmery, lifted 2019 counterpart and just as beautiful—which one you like best will just depend on the style of California Chardonnay you enjoy most!

Memorable, with intense fleshy apricot, peach and pear flavors that are ripe and supple, joined by honeysuckle, lemongrass and mouthwatering, salty minerality. Delivers details of lemon zest and white pepper on the fresh finish.

James Suckling (95)

Aromas of green apple, nutmeg and fresh herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with great structure and length. The fruit is well attuned to the driving acidity that keeps the palate going for some time. Slightly nutty finish.
