  California Dreamin' and a Pair of Inaugural Corton Charlemagne: This beautiful wine stood out initially and for me remained red WOTN. Absolute class in the glass and it simply had no flaws. From the Singleton Cellar.

  From an impressive looking bottle with a BN fill, this wine had a very deep red center and light orange rims. The medium+ intensity nose showed candied cherries, red soil, tan spices, and sour plum.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was gorgeously balanced with light rounded tannin, firm acidity, and great length.
  
  While not as complex as, say the 45 Mouton, this is an amazing testament to the promise of California wine. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to taste this for the second time. Dink now or 10 years from now if you like! Arguably 97 points.

  From an absolutely stunning looking bottle with a VHS fill, this wine had a deep red center and oranging rims. The nose was classic CA cab with cherries, subtle mint, blackberries, cola, and alluvial dust.
  
  In the mouth, this wine was refined. It had bright fruit, light rounded tannin and solid acidity. It morphed a couple different times as it aired (4+ hours) and developed impressive complexity. The balance was outstanding!
  
  While this may not be for those who desire a thick/sappy wine, it was gorgeous and its flavors lingered in my mouth for over a minute.
