Mission Briefing
Go for the Gold
Today we are very pleased to present to you the silky, butter-smooth Deutsch Family Wine 2013 ‘The Calling’ Dutton Ranch Chardonnay.
This delicious wine was born on the 1300 acre, organically farmed Dutton Ranch vineyard. That Dutton fruit, when combined with the skillful winemaking of Dan Goldfield (yes, that Dan Goldfield), makes for liquid gold.
Aromas of citrus, white peach, hazelnut, almond, honeydew, honeysuckle, butterscotch, peach, orange blossom, vanilla custard and a hint of sweet oak.
The super silky texture of this wine coats the palate with flavors of Citrus, pineapple, Meyer lemon, vanilla custard, honeysuckle, lemongrass, subtle white spice and subtle oak.
If you love buttery, silky smooth, delicious Russian River Valley Chardonnay (or any Chardonnay for that matter), we’re sure that you’ll adore today’s delightful, very highly recommended and budget-priced The Calling Chardonnay from the Deutsch Family.
