Just went through my cellar and found some that I may have held on/or forgot about for too long. Nothing like the Chardonnays from the 90s that I had to poor down the drain, this one still had some life left in it. The wine is still a deep garnet. Spice box, with blackberry, gobs of fruit with some tannins still left. Drink now before it is too late. The wine looks inky colored. The legs are medium. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like blackberry, black currant (cassis) and black pepper. It tastes like blackberry, black currant (cassis), black pepper, cherry and oak. The body is medium. The wine has juicy texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

My last bottle from over a case total. This wine is still going strong with gobs of fruit and nice deep, complex notes. Held up well over 2 evenings (showed a slight bit of oxidation on the 3rd evening).

Popped and poured; a pleasant quaffer for weeknight drinking; berry, cherry, with some oak notes; decent acidity, fine tannins, medium finish. Indian Wells always delivers.
