CVed 1/24/18. Third wine to comp with first two. Have had this. Color actually lighter than others. Again nice stone fruits, minerals, tart peaches on nose. Vibrant and lithe on palate with softer texture than the others and a medium finish that's relatively less complex. Still a yummy wine ave great value at $15 or so. Opened 6/9/18! Went well with Korean takeout of seafood pancake, bulgogi, jaep char and Kalbi. Adaptability of such acidic and textured whites. — 7 years ago

The nose is dark ripe fruits and beautiful purple florals. The 03 will continue it to evolve but not sure how much better it gets. The tannins are nearly completely resolved. The fruits are juicy & ripe; blackberries(nearly pancake syrup), blueberries, black raspberries, dark cherries, cooked raspberries & strawberries, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, it's got a bramble quality, black earth with a touch of crushed stones, a touch of spearmint, hint of eucalyptus, fresh purple florals, spice-box, tobacco leaf, the acidity is perfect as is; the balance, structure, length and long beautiful, velvety fruit finish. A nice follow up to the 2005 & had in the right order. — 8 years ago

A summer-nap's dream of sentient lemon-sized rocks self-organizing into clattering snakes writhing around a field, chasing insistent pancake salesmen, in under saturated Claymation. — 9 years ago

It's CA Pinot and Burgundy night! Sour/tart/dark cooked fruits. Dark cherries, ripe but tart raspberries, underripe blackberries/seeds, irony minerals, chalk, light black earth followed by wet pebbles with ripe black plum, dry fig and a blueberry pancake finish. An elegant bottling hand stamped from Queen of Burgundy. She even makes magic within their village level terroir. Trust the Winemaker!!! — 10 years ago

14' Domaine Serene Evenstad Reserve Chardonnay. Backwards & a little sharp straight out of the bottle. I decanted for a bit.

Like golden color. The nose is very similar to the palate. The whole group gets that lemon taste right away. Peach , pancake batter, wet stone. I get a little more tanginess to this wine. Very nice acid & the right amount of creaminess. Surprisingly a little more New World than I would've thought😋. Very enjoyable bottle of wine. This will be even better with a bit more time. Number #2 Wine of the year, from Wine Spectator. — 8 years ago

10' Hanzell Chardonnay. A small percentage of these vines have survived from 1953. I think they are the oldest remaining Chardonnay vines in North America?

Hanzell wines are certainly built to age. The 2010 will keep evolving for many years to come.

Decanted for an hour. Served at cellar temperature. Perfume & citrus nose. Peach, pancake batter, wet-stone. A chalky & lemony finish. — 9 years ago

Lots of great stuff going on with this one. Black fruit, purple flowers, white and black pepper, saddle leather, blueberry pancake syrup, and mushrooms. Great mineralogy throughout. 60 second finish. Excellent. — 7 years ago

Pale straw; apple oxidized yeasty pancake aroma: crisp acidity, maybe slightest RS, mild petulance (labeled mousseux) — 9 years ago

09' Silex. Lemon, grapefruit, peach skins, pancake batter, wet stone. Just the perfect amount of crisp/bright acidity. I'm in love with this SB. Need to try it again in a few years. Edit- After decanting this for a bit ...WOW! — 9 years ago

Digging these 2014s from Alsace. Lighter for sure, but fresh, clean, precise. Plenty of charm from Riesling, Muscat, & Pinot blanc. Bacchus himself could not have fashioned a more magical pairing with seafood pancake. — 10 years ago

Alvear 1927 Solera Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles D.O. Tastes of liquefied apricot candy, pancake syrup. Fruity and highly alcoholic. Had this wine with churros dipped in Dulce de Leche. — 11 years ago
