點擊次數：6343

Aromas of smoky, buttered hazelnuts, nectarines, and orange blossom emerge from the 2006 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch. With medium to full body, and good acidity as well as freshness, this Meursault-like white should drink nicely for 3-4 years. One of the most impressive Burgundian-styled negociant operations in California, the quartet of Donald and Heather Patz, James Hall, and Anne Moses continues to fine tune and improve what were already top-notch wines. Their 2006 Chardonnays represent successes for the vintage. All four 2006 Pinot Noirs are good given the vintage, but not at the level that one expects from high quality Pinot Noir producers.Tel.

A lush Chardonnay marked by the integrated balance of all its parts, resulting in great harmony. It’s very ripe in tropical fruits and quite oaky and leesy, but like the powerful gymnasts at Cirque du Soleil, all the performers work together as a troupe. Drink with rich, fancy fare, like lobster or scallops.——S.H.(12/1/2008)—— 92
