Norm’s Tasting Notes: 2020 Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
The North Georgia Wine Advisor
2020 Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay
#42-2021
The Chardonnay Queen whipped up a new recipe the other night for shellfish which was really good. She prepared shrimp and scallops in a lemon-cream sauce along with angle hair pasta, which “knocked my socks off”. Beside it on the table was a bottle of 2020 Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay, which completed the picture!
Granny Smith green apple is in the flavor mix, along with a little tropical fruit and a touch of spice, which may be attributed to the 2% Gewürztraminer,
which is blended with the Chardonnay. The finish is clean and crisp with that hint of spice lingering toward the end. The alcohol content is 13.5%, and Norm’s score is 88.
Wente is one of the older California wineries, and continues to produce good affordable wines, like this Chardonnay which is great with shellfish, hot or cold.
Score: 88
Price: $13-$16
