2012 Kongsgaard Chardonnay The Judge Napa Valley

Smooth and vibrant on first sip, but coiled tight. Became creamy, with tropical fruit, vanilla, and touch of oak after 30 minutes in glass. Better in another year. Drink 2018 - 2022.

1996 La Jota Petite Sirah Howell Mountain

Not what I was expecting. Opaque black wine. Nose says this is cab/bordeaux. Confirmed on the palate. Rich cassis dominated with blackberry and toasty oak with cedar nuances. Some dry cocoa and a hint of coffee add to the overall taste. Velvety with a presence of prickly tannin. Finish dominated by cassis and oak. I would be surprised if this could not fool a room full of tasters into believing that they were drinking Cali Cab, and with a bit of a stretch, even Bordeaux.
