Founder's Reserve

2010 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Sonoma-Cutrer Founder's Reserve 2010 Chardonnay from the esteemed Russian River Valley is a stunning expression of this classic varietal. This wine showcases a luxurious body that envelops the palate, providing a rich and decadent mouthfeel. Its acidity is bright and refreshing, balancing the lush fruit profile beautifully. A prominent intensity of ripe stone fruits, such as peach and apricot, melds seamlessly with underlying notes of citrus and a subtle hint of vanilla, derived from oak aging. The wine is delicately dry, enhancing its crisp character and making it a perfect match for a range of dishes. With its compelling flavor and exquisite structure, this Chardonnay is a true testament to the craftsmanship of Sonoma-Cutrer and the unique terroir of the Russian River Valley.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
