After everyone else left the host pulled this wine. It was served to me blind, but I knew two things: this guy loves California pinot above all else, and from way across the room I could see a pinot-shaped bottle. So I kept trying to fit the square peg into the round hole: who makes a Cali pinot with a skunky Heinekin nose, tar and green olives? That it turned out to be C-H and from a Californicated vintage at that made perfect sense--once I knew what it was; I'll admit to not guessing it. Very good now, but fading a bit on the palate--no rush but I'd put these in the drinking queue if I had them.
