Sonoma-Cutrer is a highly regarded winery located in Sonoma County, California, with a brand identity that combines Burgundian winemaking tradition with Californian innovation. Founded in 1973 by Brice Cutrer Jones, the winery is particularly known for its focus on Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, grapes that thrive in the cool climate of the Russian River Valley and Sonoma Coast.

The brand's philosophy centers on a meticulous approach to winemaking. They utilize a process that incorporates Old World techniques, such as fermenting and aging in French oak barrels, with New World technology, like a cooling tunnel they invented to maintain the freshness of the grapes. The brand’s commitment to quality is evident in their hand-sorting of grapes and their focus on producing estate-grown wines.

Sonoma-Cutrer's most famous product is its Chardonnay, which has long been a favorite in fine dining establishments. The wines are known for their bright acidity and a complex profile that balances fruit and oak notes. In recent years, the brand has expanded its portfolio to include Pinot Noir and Rosé, all made with the same dedication to quality and terroir expression. The brand was acquired by Duckhorn Portfolio in 2024, but it continues to uphold its tradition of crafting elegant, balanced, and food-friendly wines.
