The 2013 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch shows much higher acid profiles, plenty of delicate, fresh pineapple, honeysuckle, pear and lemon oil notes. Of all of the Dutton Ranch Chardonnays, this comes across more like a Grand Cru from Chablis, given its wet stone, gravelly, minerality. A laid back, reticent, but impressively endowed Chardonnay with great acid, the high yields of the year may have rendered wines with less concentration and drama than the 2012, but it comes across a completely different animal, even though the winemaking and vineyard source are identical to its older siblings. Drink it over the next 5-7 years.
