Sonoma-Cutrer is generally thought of as a Chardonnay house because of its stunning array of elegant and balanced Chardonnays that are always among the best produced in California. It is quickly carving a similar niche for its Pinot Noirs. This beauty from the Russian River Valley is precise, elegant and alluring, showing bright cherry notes and just the right touch of spice. A Platinum Award winner at the 2020 Sommelier Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
