2002 Russian River Sonoma-Cutrer The Cutrer Chardonnay

The 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 concenrated while offering a sensual , softer side in ballance. Flavors of baked apple appear along with glazed pineappleand fresh tangerine. This vintage offers a Cutrer with a perfect acid backbone, resultingin a wine that pairs well with a wide array of foods, fresh, alive and begging to be enjoyed again and again.
