Sonoma-Cutrer
The Cutrer Russian River Valley Chardonnay
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Medium lemon with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with toasty notes. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach with lemon citrus zest and toasty nutty vanilla notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and spicy creamy mineral character. Nice!

This wine shows a pale yellow color in the glass. The nose is heavily laced with oak spice, vanilla and butter on top of the beautiful citrus, peach and pear display. On the palate, the fruit is rich and ripe while the oak is also quite pronounced. I lean towards oakier Chardonnays over the holidays, for some reason. This one hits me just right in that respect while bringing a zingy acidity to the full mouthfeel. It is gorgeous.

Mar 30th, 2022This Chardonnay has a golden tint in the glass, and is quite clear, too. The nose displays oak, imparted during the 13 months or so it spent in barrels. Underneath the wood lies some beautiful fruit - pears, peaches, pineapples, lemons. The mouthfeel is creamy - expected with full malolactic fermentation - and yet a racy acidity flows behind it. There is definitely a buttery note on the sip, one that harkens back to a different time for California Chardonnay.

Oct 17th, 2021Thought it was time to try another bottle of their “The Cutrer” Chardonnay, I noticed aromas of fresh fruits and notes of sweet spice. Aged for 13 months in French oak (25% new), flavors of apple, pear and citrus come forth, with a creamy texture. Vivid acidity, well balanced with slight oak on the finish, ending with vanilla spice tones. Consistent notes overall wine was more developed. Enjoy!

v20. Always a favorite. Soft fresh cut tropical fruit and creme brûlée nose. Creamy, tropical and honeysuckle fruit. Full, clean, oak finish.
