CHARDONNAY 2020 Sonoma County |
Vintage Assessments Tasting Note |
Producer |
SIMI |
This new 2020 harmonious, crowd-pleasing Sonoma Valley Chard maintains its ready-to-drink, tropical-toasty style of yesteryear. It has a bright medium straw colour with an intense, very spicy, fairly tropical, ripe, pineapple-tinged, lemon-apple meringue nose with lots of cedary notes. Dry, medium bodied and smooth, the spicy, topical-driven, ripe, lemon-apple-pear flavours are followed with a fairly crisp, lingering, bright, cedary finish. Best with poultry and white meats. It has 13.5% alcohol and and tastes a tad sweeter than its 2 g/L residual sugar. The lot number L22034 appears on the lower part of the glass bottle. Screwcap closure. |

TASTING NOTE: This is always an elegantly fashioned, approachable California Chardonnay that reflects a restrained oak character. It's ripe and fruity, showing melon, apple, pear and tropical notes alongside butterscotch, oak spice, mineral, and a zesty acidity. Pair with roast chicken. Drink until 2025+. |
