Oh Dutcher you got me. I tend to be a not-into-Cali-chard girl but Dutcher shows up. Any variety any time. Everything is subtle except the nose which screams “I am Chardonnay! But I won’t roar I’ll purr” then you sip and think hell this is all the California Chardonnay Things but in balanced happy harmony: the vanilla, the butter, the oh so delicate oak...Dutcher never disappoints. A deep riff of acid slinks through this and balances all. Get in.
