2015 Hess Select Chardonnay

#nb-23-18

One of my favorite Chardonnay's during the last decade has been the Hess Select from Monterey, California. The 2016 vintage is as consistent as those in the last few years, in that it is a decent Chardonnay at a decent price, which always scores in the high 80's and low 90's.

The wine has an aromatic nose with fresh pear and a heady dose of lemon being most prevalent. The flavor spectrum is dominated by pear with some pineapple, and nuances of apple, and lemon zest. The finish is refreshing and suggests another sip. The alcohol content is 13.8%, and Norm's score is 88.

This wine is perfect for summer salads, particularly a seafood salad with shrimp and crab.

price : $10 - $13
score: 88
