Sonoma Cutrer 2008 "Sonoma Coast" Chardonnay, CA

Ken's Wine Rating: Very Good (88)
Price: $24
KWG Score: 88
No. Professional Ratings: 1
# of Cases: 40,000
This light yellow colored Chard opens with a pretty banana and golden delicious apple like bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and nicely balanced with a fruit forward style. The flavor profile is a tasty light oak infused pineapple with notes of apricot and peach. We found this Chard to be very easy to drink and enjoy. Its finish is dry and its fruit flavors linger nicely in the aftertaste. This wine would pair well with five fruit grilled chicken. Enjoy – Ken

    Who is Ken?

    Who is Ken and what is this website about? The concept of "Ken's Wine Buying Guide" originated in February 1998 with the first recorded "Ken's Boston Wine Expo Notes." These "notes" evolved dramatically from the original 15 wines Ken recommended to a 36+ page Microsoft Word document that was sent quarterly to friends and family as recently as the spring of 2006. Over the years many friends had suggested making "Ken's Wine Buying Guide" available online for those near and far to have easy access to it. In the summer of 2006, we began to create www.KensWineGuide.com, going live in the fall of 2006. To read more of the history of Ken's Wine Guide, click on About Us.

    Tip for Using KensWineGuide.com:

    What does the small wine glass image next to a wine review indicate?
    The small wine glass image indicates that Ken or the Ken's Wine Guide Tasting Panel reviewed the wine.

    Most of the wines reviewed and recommended on KensWIneGuide.com are provided as free samples from wineries for evaluation.

    Cheers!
    Ken and Theresa Hoggins
