The 2016 Gamay Noir El Dorado is delicate, light on its feet and gracious. In some vintages, the Gamay offered more fruit depth, but in 2016 readers will find a wine with a bit more tannic bite because of the younger-vine fruit in this year's wine. Even so
The 2016 Gamay Noir El Dorado is delicate, light on its feet and gracious. In some vintages, the Gamay offered more fruit depth, but in 2016 readers will find a wine with a bit more tannic bite because of the younger-vine fruit in this year’s wine. Even so, all the elements are very nicely balanced. Rose petal, sage, mint and cranberry add the closing shades of nuance. This is such a pretty wine.

The 2016 Chardonnay Watson Ranch is powerful and ample, as it often is, but also has quite a bit of aromatic freshness to play off the richness of the yellow orchard fruit. This is an especially savory, mineral-driven style of Chardonnay, with the natural breadth of Carneros, and phenomenal balance.
