Sonoma-Cutrer 40th Anniversary Winemaker’s Release Chardonnay 2019 Review
This wine takes the old school vibe of Cali Chard and balances it. Smells fancy French butter and pears with a whiff of vanilla. The palate is soft, with calm, natural acidity and a depth that you're used to without all the intense alcohol and oak.
