Kutch Santa Cruz Mountains Trout Gulch Chardonnay 2022
- In stock, ready to ship
With vines much older than those in Napa Valley, the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA has long offered some of California's greatest wines. The vineyard, which winemaker Jamie Kutch has been working for many years, is situated just a mere 3.5 miles from the Pacific Ocean. A combination of the sandy loam soils, sunshine, and the cold climate of this site has created a Chardonnay full of cool climate character, yet simultaneously uniquely Californian.
17.5/20 - Wonderfully bright, energetic but fully ripe fruit that informs a wine that's already a pleasure to drink. Complete. Great fruit/acid integration and a slightly saline note on that lime framework. My kinda Chardonnay ... Quite long. I'd love to taste a fully mature version of this wine. - Jancis Robinson MW, JancisRobinson.com
On the palate, vivid and lively with well-concentrated flavours of lemon and orange. Touches of hazelnuts are present, as are some sweet baked lemon notes.
Lovely in its youth, this is a white capable of ageing for at least five years.
Wonderful as an apéritif, consider pairing this Chardonnay with tuna tartar and mustard or delicate white fish.
