You may know the name, perhaps too well. Sonoma-Cutrer has specialized in chardonnay for so long that it has topped most restaurant wine lists for years and has run the risk of overoaked overfamiliarity.
Not this bottle. The 2009 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is a new midrange blend of the best foggy S-C vineyards on the coast, from a superb 2005 crop. You'll taste juicy fruit basket to start, with a whiff of lemons on the nose and a platter of apples, melons, pears and pineapples in the mouth. Winemakers imposed a leaner style, crisp from the get-go, spiked with ginger and spice, front and back. Butter and cream, sure, but not too much, more like a lemon gingersnap.
The second vintage is on its way with equally ripe 2006 grapes and a similar balance. It's the treat of a restaurant fave at your-house prices.
It costs $25, in wide distribution.
