Light to medium gold. Resolved nose of sweet citrus notes and a light undercurrent of oak hanging on...that did the same on the palate...showing just a tad of influence on the backside with a medium and soft fruit grip and just a hint of acidity...nice and interesting textures, but not overwhelming.

Light yellow color with gold highlights and while the nose was not strong, it did yeild some nice notes of citrus, ripe melon, and a tad of minerality. A nice sweet entry that had a good counterpoint at mid palate with a light fruit grip and lingering acidity, that left a medium finish. This was actually a nice surprise, and holding on surprisingly well.

Our last bottle; clearly near the end of its drinking window. Still showed a bit of honey over a nicely acidic backbone, but not the depth it had a year or two ago. Drink now, if you have any left.

Disapointing. Rather flat compared to 2001 Charles ranch. Lacked acidity.
