  As I write this note, I see I bought this 7 years ago to the day. It has evolved into a lovely wine and is in no present danger of decay. Orchard fruits, good acidity, and some barrel (?) spice paired lovely with chicken and dumplings. I would not confuse it for Burgundy, but a Cali style chard that is not over the top. If scoring, B+ for me.

  Au restaurant Absynthe à 29$ le verre (!)
  Un producteur dont j'ai souvent entendu le nom mentionné comme le plus Bourguignon des producteurs de pinot Californien, il semble marcher sur l'eau à entendre certains sommeliers...
  
  Un nez frais avec des notes de crème brûlée, de fruit mûr ananas et un peu de citron. La bouche est fraiche, dense, beaucoup de volume, un peu beurrée, avec une finale sur les noix de Grenoble. On penserait presque à un Meursault moderne. Une petite pointe d'alcool trahit son origine, mais c'est très bien fait. 92 pts

  Traci and I brought this. Perfect serving temperature this is a pretty good ringer for a white Burgundy. Roasted almond/hazelnut, meyer lemon and baked apples. Nice acidity and a little bit of minerality creeping in. What keeps this from getting into the 90's is a rather clipped finish. If the finish fills out I might rate this a couple points higher.
