I was disappointed with this bottle. It was "too Californian" for me - big, 14%+, intense aromatics leading to a certain vanilla oaky "fatness" on the palate that screamed New World. On the other hand, at around $20 great QPR for something that the Golden State gets away with charging double for.....
Good stand alone sipper but not very food friendly.

Nice enough but a little funky on the opening. Settled down into a decent chard but without the highlights (or sweetness, thank goodness!) that other more interesting bottles had over this tasting.
