This Chardonnay shows a medium-straw color, with aromas of white peach, nectarine, vanilla, oak spice, toasted nuts, and hints of honeydew. On the palate it is supple yet structured, offering flavors of pear, baked apple, and a soft core of creaminess, all held in check by vibrant acidity. The finish shows lingering barrel spice and a fine texture that bridges richness and restraint.

The Estate

Sonoma-Cutrer is a testament to the people, practices, and land all working in unison to uphold the time-honored tradition of winemaking. We marry together Burgundian traditions with Californian ingenuity and a deep appreciation for Sonoma Valley’s remarkable terroir.

Wine Making

This bottling leans into oak influence (for structure and spice) while retaining balance: careful fermentation and aging in French oak (a portion new), lees stirring, and perhaps moderate malolactic fermentation to lend creaminess without flattening the wine’s backbone.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with seafood (lobster, buttery scallops), roast pork or pork tenderloin with herbs, poultry in creamy sauces, pasta with mushrooms, and aged cheeses (Gruyère, Comté). It can also handle mildly spicy Asian cuisine or buttery vegetables.
