Old note from 1993. noticeable deep color. Appears tired. Lacking freshness. Oak a little too present. rich, smooth wine with good intensity. citrus and smoky aromas. Improved a little in the glass

With K and Miranda at home at dinner (pasta del sol). Fine straw color. Rich, brilliant. Excellent bouquet. Rich, buttery, beautifully oaked. One of the best California white wines around. This one is rich, oily, oaky. Bitter aftertaste, as the fruit has given way to a winey flavor. Good wine. 5-12-15-7: 89/100.

With K and Miranda at home at dinner (apple risotto). Deep golden straw color. Quite viscous. Nose shows butter, vanillin oak, coconut. On the palate, it has a wonderful flavor like buttered popcorn. Extremely attractive, pineapple and citrus fruits also in evidence. Still very youthful. Fine wine. Not as full-bodied as a good Burgundy. 5-11-17-8: 91/100.
