"There are 4,020 cases of the powerful, smoky, hazelnut-scented 2000 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch. The wine was aged in 60% new French oak, and reveals excellent honeyed citrus characteristics, leesy, ripe flavors, and good delineation because of higher than normal acid levels. It adequately conceals the lofty 14.2% alcohol." Wine Advocate #142, Aug 2002 |
