Shared at VISA Summer Party. Probably not enough time to let it fully open, as the crowd of Somms wanted to get a taste. Very leesy nose, big, broad palate ( 60 % Pinot Noir and all barrel fermented ). Paired well with cured ham and smoked salmon quiche, not so well with deviled eggs.

A good, commercial California Chardonnay, with the right amount of oak and fruit. Stayed together over a week of small glasses.

Crumbling cork. A mature Zin, still with fruit. Good spice on nose and palate. Medium length finish.
