Founders Reserve 2010

2010 Russian River Valley Chardonnay

The Sonoma-Cutrer Founders Reserve 2010 is a stunning representation of Chardonnay from the esteemed Russian River Valley. This white wine showcases a medium body that offers a delightful balance of richness and elegance. The acidity is bright and lively, contributing a refreshing quality that beautifully complements the fruit intensity, which is pronounced with luscious notes of ripe pear, green apple, and a hint of citrus. The wine is expertly crafted to maintain a dry profile, allowing the vibrant flavors to shine through without being overshadowed. Its buttery texture and subtle oak influence impart a graceful complexity, making it a versatile choice for pairing with seafood or poultry dishes, or simply enjoying on its own.

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.
