Sonoma-Cutrer Russian River Ranches Chardonnay 2016

Sipping Fine Wine Delectable Pro

Sonoma-Cutrer vineyards was founded in 1973 by Brice Cutrer Jones, but sold out to a big wine house, now, in my opinion, its hit or miss on the quality. So far the 2015 RRR was a bit of a disappointment, but the 2016 was much improved. Stone fruit aromas with floral scents. Apple, peach and pear flavors with vanilla oak spice, a hint of citrus. Medium finish, ending toasty with mineral character.

Not too butttery. Not too oaky. Well balanced Chardonnay.
