Another brilliant wine, which is no surprise, is the 2012 Chardonnay Dutton Ranch. With a light-greenish hue to the light-gold color, the wine has loads of tropical fruits, such as pineapple, mango and orange marmalade, followed by honeysuckle, a hint of hazelnut and a full-bodied, well-endowed, beautifully crafted Chardonnay with underlying stony minerality. This should drink nicely for another 5-6 years. - Robert M. Parker, Jr.
