Sonoma-Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay — Sonoma Coast, California 2024
Sonoma-Cutrer is one of California's most celebrated Chardonnay producers — a winery built on precision viticulture, estate fruit, and a commitment to site expression that has earned it a devoted following for decades. The 2024 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is crafted from carefully selected estate vineyard blocks — including the renowned Cutrer and Vine Hill sites — fermented and aged in French oak to build texture and draw out notes of stone fruit, vanilla, and subtle barrel spice. The result is a full-bodied, elegant white that overdelivers at its price point and works equally well at a weeknight table or a formal dinner.
The nose is rich and inviting: ripe pear, golden delicious apple, apple blossom, and honeydew, with warm accents of pineapple and subtle oak spice. On the palate, the wine is lush and medium-to-full-bodied with a silky mouthfeel, bright acidity, and a smooth, lingering finish defined by gentle barrel spice. It is approachable, food-friendly, and deeply satisfying — the kind of Chardonnay that disappears fast.
"Our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay enchants with aromas of stone fruit and apple blossom, complemented by honeydew, pineapple and subtle oak spice. On the palate, it offers a lush blend of ripe pear and golden delicious apple, balanced by bright acidity and a soft mid palate. The finish is distinguished by gentle barrel spice, adding a layer of sophistication." — Winemaker's Notes

Expert Review - Prior Vintage 2023
91 Points by James Suckling: Aromas of lemon confit, pastry, toasted nuts and baking spices. The palate is medium-bodied with bright acidity and a creamy texture, giving notes of grapefruit, lime zest and brioche. Simple and generous.
