At Epicurean Palette (Grounds for Sculpture Tasting Event): appropriately chilled at this HOT outdoor event, the wine showed well, with notes of fruit, honeysuckle, spice. I had the Reserve and the regular Carneros bottling side-by-side, and the Reserve drank much better. I thought it would have been even more enjoyable with some good food (but nothing nearby paired with the wine). $38 retail. (And 91 Parker Points). It is apparently on sale now, as they are moving to the 2014 vintage. With Gina, who liked it. (Jen didn't like it much -- although it was late in the afternoon)

We both enjoyed this one. Smooth taste. Hints of vanilla. Mild oak

Good balance of oak and buttery taste with a long pleasant finish. Would buy again.
