OBSERVATIONS FROM WINEMAKER TERRY ADAMS Existing Club member Join Club
ON THE VINEYARD The Cutrer is one of our flagship vineyards, featuring alluvial soils on slopes reaching 10%, cooled each day by rolling fog that envelopes the Russian River Valley.

- "Enticing aromas of ripe pear, citrus, green apple and spice fill the nose with hints of orchids and tropical fruit. A lush palate is balanced with an acidity that frames and extends the layers of ripe pear, clove, honey, with hints of pineapple and guava. The hallmark of The Cutrer is its rich balance of texture, elegance and length on the palate. Given the concentration of flavor, firm structure and acidity, I expect the The Cutrer to cellar for a minimum of ten years."Terry Ernest
