This was in a perfect place - golden-colored, and dripping with honey, tea and lemon. There was just a kiss of oak, but was very harmonious. An excellent bottle, and unfortunately, my last.

Kinda scary color--dark gold--but clean and fresh on the nose. Subdued and shy for the first hour then it really started to blossom. Citrus and seashells, bright but rich and full bodied. Decant before drinking. Now -2013.

What wines do you bring to dinner /w a Billionare Wine Collector? (Westminster, CA ... Seafood Cove): Sweet citrus palate with that earthy mushroom taste lingering behind the fruit. Over the night it became heavy and overly sweet for me with a more pronounced vanilla taste. unlike the 05/06 the acidity wasn't piercing, it went well with the wine and supported it, just I couldn't get over the rich sweetness of the fruit, it was almost overwhelming.

Arcadian in the OC with Joe Davis (Jim Dietz's): Sweet lemony nose. Bright tart and sweet lemon flavors. Could use more complexity and expression but nicely made and styled. Judging by the other wines probably in need of a couple years more.

This is drinking very well now, probably at it's peak. Well integrated oak and butterscotch with acid to balance it out
