2003 Kistler Chardonnay Vine Hill Vineyard - I didn't like the last bottle I drank of this wine, as it was over-ripe and delivered a bitter finish. Fortunately the wine drank beautifully today, with notes of grass, flint, lots of toast, citrus and a little whiff of alcohol. Ripe and sweet on the palate, but pretty well-balanced.
2002 Kistler Pinot Noir Kistler Vineyard - minty, a little sharp, with notes of sour cherries as well as black cherries. Took a while to open up but was pretty decent.
2003 Sang des Cailloux Vacqueyras Cuvée Azalaïs - we took this off the list as we ran out of wine. Smoky nose with a bit of brett, pine and actually a little savory.
1998 Guiraud - lots of honey, nutty, grapey notes with plastic and medjool dates. Very lovely.
