Really expected this to be dead but very pleasantly surprised. Dark golden color. Round, melony and tropical fruit with butter, full in mouth, thick without significant oak. Smooth with long finish. Clean. Honestly this might be my best bottle..and my last. Caught it at the perfect time.

Reserving a score because i"m not used to drinking mature Calif previously oaky chard. Golden color, interesting nose, butterscotchy, faded fruit. For me, this is at the end of its life or beyond.
Purchased upon release direct from winery.
