My first time trying this that I can recall.  Very impressed.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nose is great with cassis, and slight graphite.  This bottle had been allowed to breathe for the better part of the day and still took some time to open.  It opened nicely in the glass though.  Bright acidity.  Cassis and slight cough drop note especially on the finish where it was joined with a bit of menthol.  Firm tannins.  Probably best to hold these or decant for a few hours at this point.  Some upside here for sure.  

I have had this before and loved it, but this bottle, not so much.  Perhaps an off bottle or shut down at this time?  Just last summer, I scored it 100 points, so this was curious.  Some liked it more than I, but most of the room seemed to comment that it wasn't what they might have been expecting.  It is good, but this should be one of the preeminent California Chardonnays.  It happens, but I can only review the bottle I drank.  Light green/gold in color.  The nose is dusty with tine, clay, spice and oak.  No fruit.  No noticeable TCA or other faults.  On the palate, it has a nice texture.

Rhys Chard's are among my favorite Chardonnay's anywhere.  They often get tagged as "Burgundian" but I think they are a beautiful expression of the grape as grown in Santa Cruz.  This one was pop and pour and it was singing.  Gold/silver in color with slight green.  The nose is great with a lemon-vanilla cream along with a nice mineral base.  On the palate, this is vibrant with great acidity.  Great bright fruit.  Lemon with some vanilla and a nice minerality.  Long finish.  Great with a potato chowder.  Just a beautiful wine.  I think these age well but perhaps shut down at some point only

This luxury cuvee always impresses me for its elegance.  Light golden in color.  Nice mousse.  The nose is great with fresh pears, slight lemons and just a whiff of toast.  Clean.  On the palate, this is very smooth.  Lemons and a sour lemon candy note that is very pure.  Not sweet at all.  Great acidity, this wine is quite vibrant.  Great with food.  Incredibly long finish.  Really a great showing.  

This was a treat and a new one for me.  Iced Tea in color.  The nose has a lot of alcohol.  When you get past that there is a lovely caramel.  It is sweet but not cloying.  Much smoother and better on the palate.  Caramel and some chocolate.  Warm not hot on the finish.  

This is a Cab made especially for Flaming's Steak House.  It is solid if a bit generic.  Purple/ruby in color.  The nose is dusty with cherries and some cassis.  On the palate, this drinks easy.  Light tannins.  Not a lot of complexity.  Cassis fruit.  Slight earth.  

Purple in color.  The nose has black raspberries, black olives, white pepper and slight bacon fat.  With air, some slight grilled meats.  On the palate, black raspberries with a bit of bacon fat.  This is ripe but still drink rather Northern Rhone-ish.  Good balance.  Long finish.  worked well with food.  

This had been decanted for an hour or so.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nose is dusty with cherries.  On the palate, slight tannins.  Tart cherries.  Some complexity.  Seems to be nearing but not quite at peak.  Nice with food.  

Purple in color, ruby at the rim.  The nose is dusty with cherries and sour cherries.  Good acidity.  Very food friendly.  Went great with an "Impossible" Burger.  Tart cherries, layered with forest floor.  Good finish.  This is still young and has some upside in terms of development.  Plenty of fruit with light tannins right now.  

Light gold/copper in color.  The nose has a metallic tin note to it (not unpleasant) and some limes.  Interesting for a Riesling, it made me wonder if there is some Gruner blended in.  On the palate, this is crisp.  There is a perception of sweetness but really a dry(ish) wine.  Minerals with some lemon.  Good acidity.  Nice finish.  Food friendly.
