2015 La Hermana Liquid Farm Chardonnay and 2005 Selleck Calera Pinot Noir

I blogged about How to Open and Taste an Old Wine in July. Recently, we had an opportunity to drink two rather old, (not ancient) wines, a 2015 La Hermana Liquid Farm Chardonnay and 2005 Selleck Calera Pinot Noir. The Chardonnay is now 7 years old and the Pinot Noir is 17 years old.

We drank the Chardonnay with some appetizers of cheese, Marcona almonds and soppresata. The Liquid Farm Chardonnay was fresh with well integrated oak and went very well with the appetizers. We had the Pinot Noir with baked salmon and wild rice. The Calera was drinking very well, with nice red berry flavors, a hint of tobacco and a smooth finish.
We enjoyed these old wines, they are aging very well!
