Patz & Hall 2018 Dutton Ranch Chardonnay – Top-Rated Sonoma White Wine

Patz & Hall Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2018

Experience Sonoma County’s pinnacle of artisanal winemaking with this critically acclaimed Chardonnay. Sourced exclusively from heritage vines across eleven Dutton Ranch blocks in Russian River Valley, our 2018 vintage showcases meticulous craftsmanship through spontaneous fermentation and aging in French oak barrels (35% new).

This full-bodied white wine greets you with an opulent bouquet of caramelized brioche, baked lemon, and jasmine blossoms, evolving into layered flavors of orange citrus and butterscotch. Earthy undertones of lobster mushroom and mineral complexity create a sophisticated dry finish – luxuriously rich without residual sweetness.

Recognized among California’s finest Chardonnays with outstanding ratings (94 pts Wine & Spirits, 93 pts Wine Enthusiast), its vibrant structure offers remarkable cellar potential while maintaining freshness upon opening. Decant for crab Louis or roasted poultry to elevate dining moments.
