This Chardonnay presents fruit-forward aromas of lime zest, Meyer lemon, apple, Bosc pear, white flowers, toasted almonds, white pepper, and a light mineral note. On the palate, crisp acidity frames flavors of lemon, pineapple, and subtle oak spice, with a citrusy brightness that leads into a long, velvety finish with mineral and spice accents.
Sonoma-Cutrer Description
The Russian River Ranches Chardonnay is a cuvée crafted from distinct vineyard lots in the Sonoma Coast appellation, each contributing unique characteristics to the wine. Rich and fruit-forward, it features notes of Bosc pear and Honeycrisp apple, balanced by crisp acidity and subtle barrel spice.
For this vintage, the blend contains fruit from our six estate vineyards & a small group of selected growers. Grapes were harvested in the early mornings and cooled down to preserve the fruit’s fresh flavors and natural acidity. After hand-sorting, the grapes were whole-cluster pressed. The golden-green, free-run juice was then settled in tanks for a few days before heading to oak barrels and stainless steel for fermentation. The wine was then aged sur-lies in French oak barrels that were a mixture of new and one-year old through neutral oak.
