After enjoying the brilliant restraint of the '06 Dinner, thought it would behove to work thru a vert. - this '04 reverts to a more typical BIG CA chard. Bit surprising as would think it has calmed from the years - but no. A great food wine. Just nowhere near as elegant as the '06. '05 up next - shall see this evening...

Continues to be exemplary. More subtle and nuanced as compared to other notes. Our welcome to SF wine - with dungies & late season asparagus. Beautiful.

Excellent! Creamy texture with lush notes of apricots, tropical fruit and honey with a very long finish.

Definitely past its prime, but can be enjoyed. Still showing a surprising amount of boldness, but very one dimensional.
