2012 Mother's Day Dinner June 25, 2012

2012 Mother's Day Dinner was held at the house with the boys.
 
First-
Seared Scallops, Shrimps and Leek.
 
2010 Milton Park Chardonnay-
The color is a rich vibrant green. The nose shows lifted clean, sweet fruit of apricot and peach. The palate is medium to full bodied and exhibits predominantly peach and nectarine flavors, with cloves and cardamom evident from the use of a small amount of French oak. The wine finishes full and long with a nice balance of sweet fruit and creaminess.
 
Main-
Lamb Chops with Parsley Rice and Snow Peas

2005 Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon-

Wine maker's notes "This elegantly crafted, balanced wine is marked by fine, pure, ripe blackberry and cassis flavors and aromas with notes of spice, cedar and discreet vanilla set in a silky texture supported by refined tannins."

"This is a dark, big, deeply flavored Cabernet whose tannic structure strongly suggests mid- to long-term aging. Bone dry, it has flashy flavors of black currants, dark chocolate and cedar. Very fine. Best 2010–2015, if not longer in a proper cellar." 93 Points Wine Enthusiast March 2009

Dark red color; first nose, tight; second nose, red berries and roasted vanilla; on the palate, medium to full bodied wine with long finish.  Thanks to Harry Fang for bringing this bottle.

Dessert-

Caramelized Pears with Vanila Whipped Cream
