    Dutton-Goldfield 2001 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

    Starts with inviting aromas of Bosc pears and green apples, and a perfume of smoky caramel and vanilla. Yet it's tight and taut in the mouth, and on the austere side. The flavors veer toward hazelnuts and hard peaches, and finish dry and tart, with steely acids.
