2019 La Crema Russian River Valley Chardonnay
#06-2023
For Valentine's Day the Chardonnay Queen and I feasted on a wonderful dish of shrimp and scallops with peppers, onions, and mushrooms tossed with marinara sauce, and served over fettuccini. To crown the event we uncorked an exquisite Chardonnay from the hallowed Russian River Valley in Sonoma County, California.
I can't think of a better term than "exquisite" to describe the 2019 La Crema Russian River Valley Chardonnay! It romances your palate with the abundant flavors of apple, pear, lemon zest, and a crisp finish with a mineral note, and a hint of mellow oak. The alcohol content is 14.2% and Norm's score is 92.
Great with our seafood dinner, this is a wine which excels in any Chardonnay situation, including Chicken Piccata, or Grouper Oscar. Wines from Russian River are almost always good, but this one is Primo!
score: 92
price : $23 - $28
