Monday, April 26, 2010 - Back again. Dinner for 10 on Saturday. All ten know their wine. Decanted for three hours---not much different than decanted for 1/2 hour. Lot's of smokey foods with this---smoked gouda. Mussels in garlic and mushrooms. We did this wine at Thanksgiving and it was remarkable. Five months later it is softer--but a classic Sonoma. Not shy---bold and structured for a Pinot. The one guy who is a Cab Fran freak said it was the best he ever had. This is an under rated wine---nine bottles tried over a period of time and three to go. Will drink the next two before fall. Will keep the last one until 2012 just to discover what will happen. This is a food wine.
