2016 Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc
#nb-27-18
We enjoyed a seafood feast last night featuring sauteed shrimp and salmon, and a garden salad, replete with fresh, from the farm tomatoes. The wine of choice was the 2016 Ferrari Carano Fume Blanc. This is a true California Sauvignon Blanc in the style of French white Bordeauxs. A perfect complement for our inland shore dinner!
The wine has the aroma of fresh stone fruit with a touch of citrus breeze. The flavors are peach, melon, and green apple, with a bit of grassy citrus, and a mineral backbone. The finish is refreshing, with just a touch of oak to add a little complexity to this big fruit wine. The alcohol content is 13.8%, and Norm's score is 89.
The wine was great with our salmon and shrimp, and would also make an excellent companion for Chicken Piccata.
price : $12 - $16
score: 89
