NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Sonoma-Cutrer Founders Reserve Legacy Chardonnay is a stunning white wine with an intense nose of ripe apple, pear, and orange blossom.On the palate, rich flavors of toasted oak, honey, and butterscotch are balanced by bright acidity and a creamy texture. The finish is long and lingering, with a touch of honey and spice. A truly classic and timeless expression of a Chardonnay.
