2017 Hahn Monterey County Chardonnay
#26-19
We had a delightful dinner at a small Italian Restaurant, which was new to us, and relatively new to the area. We like seafood and pasta, and we enjoyed a very good dinner with a good bottle of wine. The wine was the 2017 Hahn Chardonnay, and it fit the bill.
The wine opened with a fragrant nose of apple, pear and a bit of orange mist. The flavors were Granny Smith apple, with ripe pear, and a bit of tangerine in the background. The texture was creamy and the spine had good acidity, which balanced well against our garlic laced food. The alcohol content is 14.5%, and Norm's score is 88.
The Chardonnay queen indulged in a salmon dish with artichoke and a creamy sauce accented with dried tomato. I had a wonderful Shrimp Scampi with angel hair pasta, which, with the exception of the Chardonnay Queen's own Special Shrimp Scampi, may have been the best I have ever had. The restaurant's name is Gusto Cucina Italiana in Cape Coral, Florida, and I would highly recommend it!
score: 88
price: $12 - $17
