2007 Bouchaine Estate Vineyard Pinot Noir – Napa Valley 2007 Francis Ford Coppola Director’s Cut Zinfandel – Dry Creek Valley
2008 Clos LaChance Liebeler Vineyard Chardonnay – Santa Cruz
This single vineyard Chardonnay shows clear effect of the 40% new French oak, but wood complements rather than overwhelms. Pear, apple, honeydew melon and some tart pineapple are joined by caramel, smoke, and a surprising kick of white pepper. This would be a perfect pairing with Flounder Francese with Toasted Almonds, Lemon and Capers.
