Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay - 750ml

The Sonoma-Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a refined Dry White Wine that harmonizes ripe pear and peach flavors with judicious oak aging, yielding a fuller-bodied profile while preserving the bright, refreshing character typical of a classic Chardonnay. From the moment you pour, you’ll notice a gleaming straw-gold color and a inviting aroma of orchard fruit—ripe pear nicely paired with succulent white peach, underscored by subtle vanilla, brioche, and a touch of citrus zest. On the palate, the wine delivers a generous yet balanced mouthfeel: the fruit signals continue, with juicy pear and peach fruit notes taking the lead, supported by a supple framework of oak-derived spice, creaminess, and faint-but-noted lees influence. The oak aging contributes structure and depth without overpowering the fruit, helping to round out the wine into a cohesive, fuller-bodied style that remains bright and approachable.

Acidity stays vibrant and precise, providing lift and mouth-watering balance that makes this Chardonnay feel lively rather than heavy. The finish reveals a longer, nuanced barrel-spice echo—notes of vanilla bean, toasted almond, and faint clove that linger gracefully and invite another sip. This Chardonnay pairs well with poultry, seafood, mildly creamy pasta dishes, and roasted vegetables, yet it shines on its own as a refined, versatile white that exemplifies the Sonoma Coast’s hallmark balance of fruit-forward richness and elegant oak integration. Overall, it’s a versatile wine that appeals to fans of both traditional and more modern Chardonnay styles.
