Community Tasting Note

Thursday, August 5, 2021 - My last bottle, opened for our 20th anniversary, with some trepidation but was pleasantly surprised. The wine was a bright dark lemon yellow with no obvious sign of oxidation. The nose has some hazelnut and almond along with light citrus and ripe peach. The palate is very bright with acidity, beautiful texture, some rich creaminess, slight vanilla, lemon curd, more of the ripe peach and a long minerally finish accented by the almond. The only slight detraction is an ever so slight bitter note at the very end of the finish. This was a thrilling wine for a 20 year old Cali Chard! It was best with about 20-30 minutes in the glass just under room temperature.
