This wine suffered by following a crisp and lively rose Champagne (I forget the name of it). This showed simply, round, and almost sweet and fruity in comparison. Not bad, but not very interesting this time.

Spice, slight petrol, wax on the nose. Smells nice. Slight sweetness but a good dose off acidity offsets that. Long finish. I enjoyed this one quiet a bit and this was probably my second favorite wine of the night, behind the Molitor Sonnenuhr Auslese.

This was in a flight of two wines with a Donnhoff Spatlese Riesling. That wine completely overshadowed this one. The nose was a little odd and subdued at first and at one time I even thought I smelled tomato leaf. A creamy, heavier mouthfeel than the Riesling. Moderate acidity. Pleasant, but the Riesling had a lot more going on and that made it hard to appreciate this one.

This was in a flight of two wines. The other was a 2002 Jean Dauvissat Montmains. When smelling the two wines, I would have bet anything the Cameron was the Chablis. Intense salty, mineral overtones. I can't remember having a US wine that smelled so much like Chablis. On the palate, this is taut, intense and surprisingly very young. I really need to start exploring Oregon Chardonnay. Very good.

Another wine that suffered somewhat due to the wine poured along with it. Surprisingly, the Cameron Abbey Ridge out Chablis-ed this one. Where that was full of minerality, saline and flint, this was reticent and understated. Hints of mineral and a light nutty character. Soft and subdued.

I enjoyed this wine. It is light in color and light bodied, but the wine smells nice and bright. I loved the nose. Mint, ash and red fruits.

Wow, this is a big step up in intensity and structure compared to the 2010 Passopisciaro. Red and darker flavors, mint, spice. Young and chewy. Lots of potential here, I think.

Very pretty nose of sassafras, mint, and furniture or shoe polish of some sort - oddly in a good way. Nice wine, but lacking depth. One to drink on the young side, I think.

Delicious. Slightly tropical fruit, sea breezes on the nose. There is depth and density, yet it is light at the same time. Really pretty. I should have bought more.

Nuts, apricot, caramel. I liked this but found I kept going back to the lighter, more airy, Molitor Riesling.
