Description:
Intense aromas of ripe apple are dotted with cinnamon and clove, as hazelnuts bathed in cream march hand in hand with notes of fragrant Acacia blossoms. In the mouth, there is a dichotomy as the wine is both dense and concentrated while offering a sensual, softer side in balance. Flavors of baked apple appear along with glazed pineapple and fresh tangerine. A hint of clove teases and entertains the taste buds. This vintage offers a Cutrer with a perfect acid backbone, resulting in a wine that pairs exceptionally well with a wide array of foods, fresh, alive and begging to be enjoyed again and again.

Varietal Definition
Chardonnay:
Chardonnay is by far the most widely planted grape crop in California and dominates California’s cooler, coastal, quality wine regions. The natural varietal ‘taste and smell’ of Chardonnay is surprisingly unfamiliar to many wine drinkers, as its true character is often guised with dominating winemaking signatures. Chardonnay’s rather subdued primary fruit characteristics lean toward the crisp fruitiness of apples, pears and lemon, but the variety’s full body is capable of supporting a host of complementary characteristics, such as oak, butter and vanilla. Regardless of what is the appropriate style for Chardonnay, the varietal continues to dominate vineyard plantings in every corner of the world. Close attention to clonal selection has made this broad geographic and climactic range of Chardonnay viable in thoughtful viticultural hands.
