2022 Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc
Dos January 2025
We had a wonderful dinner the other night, featuring a bottle of Ferrari-Carano Fume Blanc from the California North Coast. Next to it on the table was a Rigatoni Pasta in a creamy and cheesy mushroom sauce, topped with sautéed Scallops! We also added a fresh garden salad topped with Gorgonzola Cheese crumbles. Mama Mia what a delight!
This is a "Chardonnay Queen" favorite when she is not enjoying a Chardonnay.
The Ferrari-Carano opens with an aroma reminding one of a fresh breeze straight from the fruit orchard. The flavors explode on your palate, with Golden Delicious Apple, Meyer Lemon, and tropical fruit. The wine closes with a clean, polished finish, suggesting a little lemon zest. The alcohol content is 13.9%. and Norm's score is 91.
This is a great food wine which can be enjoyed with seafood, fowl, a multi-layered salad,
or on the back porch with just you, and the glass, at twilight time! This is a second tasting for this vintage, since I reviewed this one about a year and a half ago. The score is the same, but the wine is not quite the same, as it is more mature and the flavors come across in a slightly different light.
score: 91
price : $15 - $20
Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here's looking at you Kid!
