This wine opens with bright aromas of lime zest, Meyer lemon, green apple, white pear, with a delicate touch of toasted almond and mineral topnotes. On the palate it is lively and fruit-forward, showing citrus (lemon, lime) and stone fruit (pear) flavors, balanced by a clean mineral thread and a subtly creamy texture, leading into a long, fresh finish.

Chardonnay grape blend.

2023 Data Sheet

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

The fermentation is 100% malolactic, with about 75% of the wine aged in oak and 25% in tank to maintain brightness. The oak use is moderate, so it supports rather than dominates. Lees contact and gentle élevage help smooth the palate while preserving the wine’s energy.

Food Suggestions

Pairs well with roast chicken, shellfish (especially lobster or prawns), crab cakes, creamy pasta (e.g. scallop linguine), or buttery vegetable dishes (e.g. corn, leek gratin). Its acidity can balance richer seafood sauces or creamy textures.
