Winemaker Notes:
This is a richly complex vintage of The Cutrer. On the nose, you are greeted with integrated oak notes of caramel, pie crust, barrel spices, ripe peach, nectarine, nougat and brown sugar. The mouthfeel is nicely focused showing a lovely mid-palate creaminess, bright acidity and a long, rich flavorful finish. Flavors of warm pie crust and baked apple are accented with touches of nut, light vanilla and baking spice. Each of Sonoma-Cutrer’s Chardonnays is unique in their flavor characteristics. The Cutrer appeals to wine lovers who enjoy a creamier, rounder Chardonnay with more oak influence.
