| | | | Sonoma Cutrer Winemaker's Release | 40th Anniversary Commemorative Chardonnay | | A special place draws special people. For 40 years, Sonoma-Cutrer has brought together passionate, imaginative folks who proudly uphold a winemaking approach that marries Burgundian traditions and California ingenuity. In blazing heat, pouring rain and numbing frosts, these viticulture visionaries share ideas. Insights. Improvements. The mantra is simple: “Whatever it takes.” Even in the middle of a global pandemic that philosophy was, once again, top of mind.
On a beautiful, sunny afternoon in middle of June 2020, with everyone isolated in their homes, the Sonoma Cutrer winemaking team past and present of Bill Bonetti (1981-1990), Terry Adams (1991-2010), Mick Schroeter (2010-Present) and Cara Morrison (2005-Present) virtually blended this very remarkable wine to mark this significant moment in their history. |

Winemaker Bill Bonetti William (Bill) Bonetti passed away on September 7, 2020 in Healdsburg at the age of 94. Raised in the northern Italian alps, he brought a traditional and formal winemaking background to America at the age of 22.
Sonoma-Cutrer's 40th anniversary is a milestone that would not be possible without Bill’s winemaking expertise. Bill and his protege Terry Adams joined the winemaking team in selecting the wine blend for this special commemorative bottling. This wine is not only a celebration of the brand but also a tribute to Bill and his legacy. |
