2016 B'Side North Coast Chardonnay
#25-19
It is the first day of summer, and of course, The Chardonnay Queen's thoughts turn to Chardonnay and seafood. We chilled a bottle of B'Side North Coast Chardonnay and prepared our seafood feast to toast the arrival of the summer of 2019. Ain't nothing like cold wine on a hot summer's night!
The B'Side opens with a pleasing aroma of apple and pear, with a slight floral effect. The flavors swirl throughout the glass, with green apple and ripe pear being the boldest. There is though, a hint of citrus, and a rich creamy texture, which backs the good balance between fruit and acidity. The finish is clean and crisp, buts does not linger on the palate quite long enough. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm's score is 89.
Our seafood feast was shrimp and bay scallops, sauteed in butter and garlic, and combined with angle hair pasta and creamy Alfredo sauce. A fresh avocado and tomato salad rounded out the bill of fare.
score: 89
price: $16 - $20
