Sonoma-Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay 2014

$25

  New release! The newest member of the lineup is the Sonoma-Cutrer 2014 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, an assemblage of select lots representing the best that the Sonoma Coast appellation has to offer. The backbone of this blend comes from the estate Cutrer vineyard, where vines struggle in alluvial soils and their Grand Cru approach to viticultural practices assures that only the finest fruit is the foundation for this offering. Vine Hill, with sandy, clay, loam soils adds significantly to the mix. Distinct aromas of ginger and lemon zest are joined by toasty coconut, melon and caramel alongside a mineral, flinty cedar-chest oakiness overlaid by notes of honeysuckle. In the mouth, a well-balanced wine with a solid acid backbone is rich, medium to heavy in weight with a broad yet still firm mid-palate. The finish is long and lingering and notable for a touch of spice and lively acidty. Flavors of lemon, apple, pear, pineapple and cantaloupe -- the full array of Sonoma's cornucopia of fruit, joins a nutty, spicy, lightly oaky profile that stakes out a unique territory sure to please those who love Chardonnay

Located in the cool Sonoma Coast viticultural region, founded in 1973 by Brice Cutrer Jones, now owned by big wine. Straw yellow with stone fruit aromas, citrus and spice notes. On the palate apple and peach, somewhat savory with oak and nutty flavors. Mineral finish, nothing special. In my opinion big wine missed on quality. Drink now.

Buttery at the start and then is gone. I'd enjoy this the most without food on the deck on a summer night.

Buttery, yet almost balanced. Very inoffensive.
