Winemaker Notes
This Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a rich, medium straw color. You are greeted with stone fruit aromas of white peach and nectarine, oak spice with hints of clove, toasted nuts, a touch of caramel, and light honeydew. The creamy richness of this medium-bodied wine boasts ripe pear and Golden Delicious apple. This wine is a classic, elegantly structured Chardonnay with lots of finesse and focused balance from start to finish. You will find Sonoma-Cutrer's signature bright acidity with nice length and a soft mid-palate that rounds out to a pleasant, long finish of lingering barrel spice.

"This silky, creamy wine offers subtle layers of vanilla, white peaches and baked apples in the aroma, followed by lush, honeyed peaches and pineapple slices on the palate. Although full bodied, the wine’s texture is elegant and light."
