Vine Snob
- John Sutcliffe is making some of the better wines in Colorado, and he'll be the first to tell you so.
Vine
- Alta and Brad Smith dig deep
into the mindset of John Sutcliffe
to find that not only is his
approach to Colorado winemaking
one of a kind, but it warrants
the cover.

One
Bottle - Josh Baer says the about 2007 Chardonnay Signature, ".....The bouquet, on the other, hand fires a shot across your bow. It informs you that any preconceived notions you may have about American Chardonnays are about to be blown to smithereens. On the palate, the 2007 Sutcliffe Signature Chardonnay tells you a story you cannot forget. The story travels from your mouth to your heart, and then it breaks your heart. The finish lasts until your heart is in pieces.
In 1986, 1989, 1991, and 1992, Andre Ramonet (of Domaine Ramonet in Chassagne-Montrachet, Burgundy) made a series of Batard-Montrachets that displayed (and still display) the rare combination of generosity and restraint that characterizes the 2007 Sutcliffe Vineyards Signature Chardonnay.

How Good Can Colorado Wines Be?:
"Bordeaux red varietals - merlot, cabernet franc and cabernet sauvignon - are at the top of my list", says Bentley. Pinot noir seems to have a foothold in the North Fork Valley, especially Steve Rhodes' Emilia's Vineyard bottling. That said, Sutcliffe's Bodys Gallen, a blend of merlot, cabernet franc and other grapes, is the single best red I've ever tasted from Colorado.......
.....Others mentioned syrah, while a bottle of Sutcliffe's 2007 cinsaut, another relatively obscure French grape, knocked my own socks off at a recent dinner at Six89.
