WALKER HILL CHARDONNAY 2015
a Chardonnay from Marin County • CA
$50
per bottle
The wine leads with lively aromas of lemon oil and grapefruit, with accents of ginger and jasmine. With time in the glass, guava, Mandarin orange, and mango come up, with bright lime zest in the background. The mouth has that fantastic combination of bright freshness and unctuous decadence that we love in chardonnay, with tangerine, young pineapple, and lemongrass flavors followed by a generously lengthy finish of toasty creme brulee, topped off by a fresh kiss of lemon peel.

Dutton-Goldfield Winery
DISTINCTIVE WINES THAT REFLECT OUR COOL CLIMATE HOME
Our wines are sourced some of the finest vineyards in the Russian River Valley, the majority of which comes from the award-winning Dutton Ranch (2017 Vineyard of the Year), owned by our Partner/Grower, Steve Dutton. Dutton Ranch is comprised of over eighty separate small vineyards, each with its own characteristics. Along with the fruit from Dutton Ranch, we also source Pinot Noir and Riesling from some spectacular single vineyard sites in Marin County, Sonoma Coast, and Anderson Valley. Learn more about our vineyards here. Steve and Dan are constantly searching for new vineyards where everything comes together perfectly.
The Green Valley of Russian River Valley AVA is home to our winery, tasting room, and Dutton Ranch, the source of most of our fruit. Located at the southwestern corner of the Russian River Valley its close proximity to the Pacific Ocean makes it one of the coolest appellations within Sonoma County. The climate in Green Valley is even cooler than other parts of the Russian River Valley, and favors the cultivation of cool climate varietals like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Gewurztraminer.
