Introduction
Tour and tasting at the new wine cave, pickup allocated wines.
Flight 1 (5 Notes)
Closing
The Chardonnay was actually my wine of the day, probably because it is ready to drink now and the reds need several more years.

2009 Rhys Chardonnay Santa Cruz Mountains 93 Points
USA, California, Santa Cruz Mountains
My wine of the day. Great silky smooth texture, tropical fruit, some green flavors, floral perfume. Not high in acid or astringency, this baby is ready to drink now. I wish I could get my hands on some but sadly not likely to see any allocated.

Sweet candied nose compared to the Family Farm, still get the same green stemmy flavors that will need time to develop. Very good.

Pepper, spicy and meaty flavors, the gaminess was almost hot dog like. Luscious fruit, super enjoyable.
