Dutton Estate Chardonnay Russian River Valley Kyndall's Reserve 2023

91 points Wine Enthusiast: "Very rich aromas of roasted apple and caramelized pineapple jump from the glass of this full-bodied Chard, while the palate displays flavors of preserved pear, nectarine and toasty barrel spice. The finish feels edgy, with toasty oak providing some serious structure for mid term aging. (Apr 2025)"

91 points James Suckling: "Tropical aromas of lychees, lemon curd and dried mangoes. The palate is medium-bodied with a creamy texture and a slight phenolic edge, giving notes of baking spices, pineapple and red apple skin. Drink now. (Dec 2024)"

Producer notes: "The Sisters Selection Chardonnay is named after our clear-eyed, hardworking eldest daughter who oversees the winery as Vice President of Business Operations. This Chardonnay has a decadent nose of apricot, vanilla, and caramel notes to greet the senses. On the palate this wine bursts with flavors of apple and pear and shows the oak influence with hints of toast and baking spices - almost like your favorite apple pie! The winemaking style preserves acidity despite the rich flavors and aromas, making this a medium-bodied, food-friendly wine. A hearty salad topped with orchard fruits, barbecue chicken, or local cheese spread would certainly make this wine shine."
