Tucson Lunch Bunch En Magnum dinner: Served en magnum at our wine group dinner. What a surprise. We were all worried with the color...a deep gold, however, there was no oxidation and the wine was quite delicious. Dry with some butterscotch and toasty oak notes. A very pleasant drink and experience to drink a California chard of this age.

Christmas Day with the turkey and K's family. Very dark straw color. Buttery, smoky nose. Vanilla. Pretty good. On the palate, it is fairly rich, high acid, lively. Somewhat tart. Not my favorite style. Couldn't hurt to age this one a few years. 5-11-14-6: 86/100.

With K at home at dinner (scallop risotto). Yellow-gold. In the nose, comes across light, lemony, restrained. Oaky. Not much to like. On the palate, fleshy and substantial, but there's really very little fruit or flavor. Seems terribly awkward and out of balance, with oak dominating. This wine is a major disappointment. I'd be surprised if it improved at all. 5-8-7-3: 73/100.

CREAMY CITRUS NOSE WITH PEACHES AND NECTARINES. RICH CITRUS FRUIT IN THE FLAVOR MUCH LIKE THE AROMA. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.
