2014 Sonoma Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay
#nb-39-16
How can you go wrong with a platter of shrimp and scallops on pasta with Alfredo Sausce? The answer is you can't, but you can make it better by adding a good bottle of California Chardonnay! So we chose to throw in a bottle of Sonoma Cutrer Sonoma Coast Chardonnay, and call it a feast! The occasion was just another Thursday night in Paradise at the "Little Cottage by the Sea" in Matlacha, Florida.
The Sonoma Cutrer Chardonnay opens with a powerful nose broadcasting the scent of apple throughout the room. The flavors swirl with apple, pear, and a hint of peach. There is a slight presence of vanilla against a somewhat buttery texture and creamy mouth feel. The finish is dry and clean with just a suggestion of toasty oak. The alcohol content is 13.9% and Norm's score is 88.
This is an excellent choice for most any seafood fare from Lobster to our Shrimp and Scallops Alfredo. The Sonoma Coast Chardonnay would also pair well with Chicken Marsala.
Norm's score is 88.
price : $15- $19
score: 88
