An interesting take on Chardonnay.  More relaxed and easy in style than a powerhouse or an elegant wine.  Yellow/silver/gold in color, clear and bright.  The nose has some yellow grapefruit and a bit of minerality.  Medium bodied.  Good balance.  On the palate, grapefruit with a very slight flavor of vanilla.  Nice finish.  This is drinking well now and should go another five to eight years.  It is lovely on its own and would work well with Sushi or other seafoods.  

Inky purple in color, opaque and bright.  The nose is big with cassis, cedar and graphite.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Nice balance.  On the palate, this is mature although it will still develop.  Flavors of cassis, slight blueberries with slight oak/cedar.  Long  finish.  This is drinking well now and should have another ten to fifteen years.  It is great on its own and will work well with bigger foods.  It would go well with Prime Rib.
