Was going offer up expert descriptors for my tasting notes, since not a peer or professional has ever reviewed a single vintage of this wine on Delectable, but then found out Heart already expressed all I have to say in "These Dreams".
The ballad paints a perfect picture of me sipping this Chardonnay....inconsolably weeping to the entire catalogue of Vince Vaughn's and Adam Sandler's romantic comedies.... eating sausage alone, staining my sheets with tears.

We recently pulled some cases out of storage, which haven't seen the light of day for nearly 15 years, so I'll have some fun posts in the next several months.

Nose has dusty blackberry, tanned leather, ripe plum, black tea, dark chocolate chips, spring violets, grape Jolly Rancher candy; a total beast on the nose still after all these years!

Palate has ripe blackberry, over-ripe plum, dried orange peel, cocoa powder, ground coffee, dried cherry; massive tannins with a tremendously long finish.

Wow, we feel like this bottle is only 5-6 years old, so fresh in the glass at about 21 years past vintage. This needs at least another 10+ years of relaxing. We have a bunch of Brunello, and I'm constantly confirming they mostly need ~30 years. The Vince Wilfork of wines tonight, immovable force. Decanted 4 hours, paired with long braised lamb shanks over Parmesan polenta, perfect pairing, should try this again in 2030...

24 Hour Update: Nose is a mix of black fruits and a light olive tapenade. Palate is a gentle giant, tannins mostly resolved, ripe plum, shaved dark chocolate and dried orange peel. Just a beautiful wine tonight, it likely won't see tomorrow. — 6 years ago

Awesome!! I have zero recollection of ever buying this, but in the words of Vince Vaughn "I say happy accident!". Wonderful nose, ample fruit, bold yet refined....quite lovely all around! — 9 years ago

Brickish color. Full throttle nose: black olive, leather, tobacco, spice. Not fading at all, with st. Emilion like notes in the mouth (milk chocolate?), then finishes with baking spice, mulled cherries, panettone bread and clove. — 10 years ago

Perfect glou glou. Just complex enough to make it interesting but still incredibly easy to take down a bottle quickly. — 6 years ago

The twins. Vince & Cheney Vidrine. These wines are gone, Vince took an assistant winemaker position with Domaine Serene and they made him ditch the brand. Cheney was an assistant winemaker with Union Wine Company.Dont think either is with those companies any longer, last I heard they are in Southern Oregon. Have no idea if it’s true. Damn shame, this was one of the most exciting projects in the valley before it went sideways.

Crazy interesting to see how this has evolved. This is insanely reductive winemaking that opens in front of your eyes to dark red fruit with structure and balance. Popped the bottle and it was stinky as can be! Great stuff, glad I didn’t give up on this out of the gate and saw the opportunity that was coming. Wine is in a really interesting spot. Wish I had another bottle to see where this goes down the road — 7 years ago
