Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay, Russian River Valley (California, 2006)

3 stars (out of 5)

Chardonnay two nights in a row: what’s a girl to do? Surprised again, this chardonnay was actually quite good: light, clean, crisp, and a good match for spicy flavors of a chimichurri and roasted red pepper sauces. I guess I am learning that I am not adverse to the younger chardonnays that haven’t spent too much time lurking around in oak.
