Community Tasting Note

Monday, July 7, 2008 - I asked my brother to grab a couple of bottles from my cellar and this was one of them...I had hoped to keep this a while to see the development since I only had 2 and drank one already, but no go (we were away from home and I couldn't put it back)...Similar notes to the other bottle. Stony fruits, very steely in flavor, but rich in body, this wine benefits drastically from being drank at or less than cellar temperature. More richness comes out this way. It also benefits from being open for a while/ 1hr +. This has more of a traditional burgundy character, not at all like Kistler or Marcassin. I think the toast on the new oak must be lighter than most California Chard producers because the wine absorbs it very well. I guess will have to sit on the Ritchie (I only have one of those).
