Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards
When you think of Sonoma Cutrer Vineyards, think of Chardonnay. Not just because they make award-winning Chardonnay, year after year, but because it’s a part of who they are. Sonoma-Cutrer Vineyards was founded as solely a vineyard in 1973, but in 1981 they took the first step to making themselves truly famous: they built a winery. Not just any winery - founder Brice Cutrer Jones met with many knowledgeable winemakers of the time and came to a conclusion: the winery should focus ONLY on Chardonnay. This allowed the winemaker, Bill Bonetti, to focus all of his attention to perfecting one thing, boosting the quality of its wine dramatically. It wasn’t until 1992 that the winery acquired Pinot Noir cuttings and started branching out, still only with a total of two wines. Today, Michael Schroeter, current winemaking director of Sonoma Cutrer, continues to craft award-winning wines.
– Description from
Kyle Graynor
On the nose, a bright mixture of lemon/lime and honey. On the palate, again lemon/lime and honey, plus pineapple, pears and a hint of butter. This wine has robust acid but is well balanced against the fruitiness with a nice long aromatic citrus finish....

Very nice medium bodied Russian River Chardonnay. This one goes right down the middle of the road in that it isn't overly anything - not overly oaked or too buttery or too acidic or very complex. Read More

Snoothrank:
I'm not much of a Chardonnay drinker, however if I do I reach for one from Russian River. Sonoma-Cutrer is a prime example of one these brilliant Chardonnays that impresses year in and year out. On the nose you get green apple, which turns into flavors of pineapple, apple and a slight floral note as well that is balanced out with some crisp acid... Read More
