Weekly Wednesday Wine Committee lunch...always such a treat to attend. This week, Dan hosted. 1 sparkler, 3 whites, 4 reds and 1 dessert wine. All blind as usual.
Gosh...I think these Marcassin chards (and pinots) are probably desert island wines. I went back and forth between CdP white or a Chardonnay...I ultimately ended on Chardonnay and said if this is west coast, it could only be Marcassin. Quite a bit of sulfur here to go alongside a rich, butterscotch nose and a full-bodied palate showing smoked hazelnut notes.

Stunning opener for lunch! Crabcakes and Scallops... Wonderful Califonia Chard , not clocking at 14.1% alcohol at all... Had previously had 2009 and the alcohol overwhelm the experience ...super power for lunch, very lucky

Nose of apricot and melon, body of minerals with good fruit, especially for a 10 year old Chard
