Dinner with Tom & Deb Mortimer of Le Cadeau (COV, Edina, MN): Light plus gold color. Drank a glass over an hour plus. This didn't impress me as expected tonight, I think this was just more advanced; pear, citrus notes, rich and spicy, but showing some heat.

Oh yes...see Streethawk for description. This is what Cali can do so well. Really well balanced with superb combination of enticing nose, well integrated wood to give just the right amount of vanilla and richness without being overly oaky. There is mineral and acidity there without tipping over into head splitting territory. Just wonderful. In a great place now

This one is definitely a crowd pleaser. Lots of tropical fruits, lemon, and some toastiness on the nose. Palate has a slight bitter bite and nice richness. Seems to be more Burgundian as it is not a California diacetyl butter bomb, has good acidity, and good restrained use of oak. Well-balanced and overall quite refreshing. Ready to drink now.

Working through my case this summer while showing at its best. As per recent notes and excellent accompaniment for our roast chicken and summer salads Sunday dinner. For drinking up soon while intense concentration maintained.
