2022 Simi Sonoma Chardonnay
Dos March - 2025
Sometimes we have the occasion to have a "Special" dinner at home during the middle of the week, as we did last Wednesday. A special meal deserves a good bottle of wine, and we chose the Simi Sonoma Chardonnay as a companion for our Steamed Artichokes with Avocado-Cilantro dip, and our Shrimp and Avocado salad topped with Hot Chili Pepper Ranch dressing. Wednesday night became a Saturday as soon as we uncorked the bottle!
The nose is fragrant with the scent of fruit fresh from the orchard, with a bit of floral undertone. The flavors are mostly mellow apple and ripe pair, with some citrus freshening things up. The wine is on the lighter side, but with good character and a pleasing finish, with mineral and light oak lingering until the next sip. The alcohol content is 13.5%. and Norm's score is 90.
This pleasant Sonoma County offering will be a great choice for your springtime picnic basket, or that summer salad luncheon later on.
score: 90
price : $15- $18
Now, that's just the way I see it, and you can tell them I said so!
Here's looking at you Kid!
