Dinner Party Saturday Night.

Had a small dinner party Saturday nigh. We served both Salmon and beef with these wines:

2002 Testarossa, Chardonnay, Michaud Vineyard
Lemony nose with tropical fruit. Forward fruit has lemon, peach and mango flavors, with high acid, and a long creamy finish. This is an elegant, intensely fruity Chardonnay, with just a touch of cream, oak in the aftertaste to round it out. My rating 92.

1984 Ridge, Cabernet Sauvignon, Monte Bello Vineyards
Very dark garnet, slight brownish around the rim. Tight nose with red cherry. Intense forward fruit with red cherry and currant flavors, high acid, and a long fruity finish with very soft tannins. This bottle was a let down after the last bottle. It is still a very good wine, but just not mind blowing. My rating 90.

With desert, which was a bluebery cheese cake we had:

1983 Chateau Rieussec
Amber color, very dark for a Satuern. Forward nose of apricots and honey. Intense fruit flavors of apricots, pears and honey, high acid and a very long fruity finish. Delicious. My rating 91.
