Always reliable. Smooth, lemony, refreshing and not expensive. We met it years ago and it's still right there among our favorite moderately priced chards!

This is the basic Sonoma-Cutrer chardonnay, a blend from the estate vineyards, and it's quite nice. Nose: Light but fruity - green and yet soft. Mineral balances and complements the fruit. Taste: Light fruit - pear? citrus? River rock and a touch of oak. Finish: Lingering, blending fruit with minerals. Medium long. This wine is insistent from year to year. It's one of our house favorites.

Clear, starbright-pale yellow with green reflections, normal-heavy viscosity.
Clean and neutral nose, slight fruit aromas (green apple, lemon), pleasant not complex, some woodiness.
Medium-dry, refreshing acidity, medium body, and extended persistence. Honey, green apple, and minimal oak on the palate. Warm in the back of the mouth towards the throat.

Apricot and peach pronounced but also pear and a bit of line. Makes a difference on temperature served for taste to cone through. Solid chardonnay.

A well balanced, fine, supple, and elegant wine.
