Dutton Estate, Russian River Valley (Sonoma County, California) Chardonnay Dutton Ranch “Kyndall’s Reserve” 2016

($42):  With its 14.7 percent stated-alcohol, this is a broad-shouldered Chardonnay.   Fruit-focused and framed with subtle flavors from oak aging, it is actually balanced considering its size.  Its overt, up-front flavors would go well with sautéed veal or a roast chicken.
