Wine Maker Review: This Sonoma white wine’s fruit aromas of
green apple, lime and pineapple are complemented with touches of nougat,
caramel and Sonoma-Cutrer’s signature minerality. A crisp Chardonnay true to
the Russian River Ranches style, the wine is elegant and balanced with a nice,
bright acidity. Zesty flavors of lime, lemon drop and grapefruit are accented
with peach notes and a nice barrel spice. This California Chardonnay has a
light, creamy mid-palate flow to a citrus acidity for a long, lingering after
palate.
My Review: This was a very typical California Chardonnay. I
am not a fan because I do not care for the creamy and buttery consistency,
especially when the oak is so present in the wine. I thought that there were
some nice apple and citrus flavors that came through, but there was some
definite other sweetness. I tasted some slight caramel flavor which I do not
like in my wine. It also was vey dry without much acidity for me, which is the
exact opposite of what I like.
I did not taste this wine with food.
