Norm’s Tasting Notes
2018 Buoncristiani Napa Valley Chardonnay
Dos September 2024
It all started with a Hurricane Watch, and became a Gastronomic Delight.
We decided that since we did not know what tomorrow might have in store for us, then we might as well dine well the night before. I came up with a delicious Shrimp and Crab Soup, with Garlic Bread and a fresh Garden Salad. The Chardonnay Queen topped it off with a wonderful bottle of Napa Valley Chardonnay which she had received as a Christmas present.
The 2018 Buoncristiani Chardonnay was a perfect companion for our meal, with a golden color, and a nose as bright as its hue. The flavors were apple, apricot, and a buttery citrus undercurrent. The alcohol content is 14.4% and Norm’s score is 92.
This wine is a great match for almost any culinary delight from seafood to fowl!
Price: $43-$50
