Francis Coppola 2014 Dutton Ranch Reserve Chardonnay (Russian River Valley)

Country: US / Dutton Ranch Reserve
Variety: Chardonnay California
Winery: Francis Coppola / Russian River Valley

From a fine vineyard site, this wine impresses in voluptuous texture and its lovely layers of lemon and apple. Floral on the nose in apple blossom and jasmine, it offers a slight twist of more spiced citrus, like an orange dotted in clove. It spent nine months in French oak, 40% of it new, which adds complexity and notes of toasted oak.
